Lyrics

I know that you're lyin'
Through them pearly teeth
And I can see your pirate flags
High above your angry seas
I've been havin' to work
Much too hard to be with you
It's true
Rollin' my headstone away into
The deep end of blue
Lost in wonderin' what to do

Your weird and witchy eyes
I fell hard for them that night
Kissin' you softly by the fire
Warm and naked in the light
But I've been waitin' so long
For those home run winds to blow
Gentle through my soul
So cold has grown your touch
And so heavy
Are all your lonesome weary bones
There just ain't been no one at home

So I'm done, I'm through
And I don't think you really love me, too
I'm just so tired of bein' some fool
Stickin' to you like glue
I say that's enough
And I bid you adieu
Now that I've got a clue
I'm gonna catch a plane to a city
That's far away from you
If it's the last thing I ever do

And when I look down to see
Upon my chosen place to be
From way high up in my seat
I'll feel my soul kickin' free
Once and for all
It will finally be the end
Of livin' under your tent
And you'll no longer be
Just my one and only friend
No, no, not ever again

Now my new neighborhood is cool
It's even got a pool
Folks barbecue at night
And even my cats and dogs don't fight
Still it's painful as hell
Bein' this lonely on the mend
It's some real tough medicine
While I'm learnin' how to be
My one and only friend
But I'll be saddlin' up real soon again

Sometimes I do think
What if I'd let myself sink
With you I'd still be just a ghost
Snowed in like the Antarctic coast
But now that I can breathe
It's plain for me to see
Out here in the clear and free
I've got to fix the grip here on my ship
So I ain't never lost from me
This far out at sea

Then one night while I was watchin'
That big ole sun goin' down
Walkin' home alone
Peaceful and cozy in the zone
Suddenly I felt
Like a million-year-old stone
It exploded in my bones
This I knew my heart can't pretend
I was now my one and only friend
By God, yes I am

I knew that you were lyin'
Through them pearly teeth
