Roll Those Bones

WELL I SLIPPED HARD ON PEPPERMINT SCHNAPPS
WHEN I MET YOU IN THE PARK THAT DAY.
I KNEW MY OLD LOVE DIDN’T LOVE ME ANYMORE,
AND NEEDED TO FILL THIS OLD HEART AND THOUGHT YOU MAY.
JUST WHEN I WAS STARTIN’ TO STAY,
I FIGURED IT WAS TIME THAT I LEFT.
YOU SAW ME AS COPPERS AND DIAMONDS,
JUST BIG OLD PILES YOU COULD SPEND.
WELL YOU CAN SPEND ALL THE DOLLARS THAT YOU’VE EARNED.
LEAVE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU’VE HURT.
YOU CAN WASTE ALL YOUR MONEY AND YOUR TIME,
BUT DON’T YOU EVER ROLL THOSE BONES OF MINE.
OH NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO, WHERE YOU GO.
OH NO MATTER WHERE YOU STAY, WHERE YOU STAY,
I CAN SMELL THAT SWEET SICK PERFUME FROM EIGHT MILES AWAY.
I’VE GROWN TIRED OF THE SAME OLD EXCUSES.
“LATE NIGHTS AT WORK,” THAT’S WHAT YOU SAYS.
MUST’VE THOUGHT I’M DUMB, OR TOO DRUNK
TO KNOW SOMETHIN’ ‘BOUT THE PLACES WHERE YOU STASH AWAY YOUR PRIDE.
YOU CAN SPEND ALL THE DOLLARS THAT YOU’VE EARNED.
LEAVE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU’VE HURT.
YOU CAN WASTE ALL YOUR MONEY AND YOUR TIME,
BUT DON’T YOU EVER ROLL THOSE BONES OF MINE.
WELL I KNOW I DESERVE LOVE, JUST LIKE ANYONE ELSE,
AND I’M GONNA FIND IT OUT HERE WITHOUT YOU.
I’M GONNA PACK UP MY SHIT,
I’M GONNA WALK OUT THAT DOOR,
AND LEAVE YOU WITH NOTHIN’ BUT MY FOOTPRINTS ON THE FLOOR.
AND I JUST CAN’T FIND A REASON FOR STAYIN’ ROUND NOW,
I’M GONNA CLIMB UP THAT MOUNTAIN AND I’M NEVER LOOKIN’ DOWN.
I’M GONNA FIND SOMEONE’ GOOD, THAT MAKES ME FEEL LOVED.
‘CAUSE YOU GIVE AND YOU TAKE,
AND YOU TAKE TOO DAMN MUCH.
YOU CAN SPEND ALL THE DOLLARS THAT YOU’VE EARNED.
LEAVE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT YOU’VE HURT.
YOU CAN WASTE ALL YOUR MONEY AND YOUR TIME,
BUT DON’T YOU EVER ROLL THOSE BONES OF MINE.
