5. Dead Love Town
(Real Thing, 2007)
Been here all day, all night too
I'm here digging your grave for you
I don't drink water, don't say prayers
I don't want nobody seeing me here
While you're out on the town
Everybody must think I'm a man shot down
And they'd be right, but for one thing
But for this truth I'm about to bring
I ain't a fool, no way
You broke the law, I've got a thing to say
You and me, we're going down
To dead love town
When I took you out Wednesday night
You acted as if we had a fight
But all I said was baby this
And honey that, can I have a kiss
But no, no, you were through
Then it was into the night with you
But the Tuesday before, my friend Miles
Saw you messing with another man's styles
I ain't a fool, no way
You broke the law, I've got a thing to say
You and me, we're going down
To dead love town
Ruth 1, Verse 13
I shall stand beside you til death unseen
And that is good, that is true
That's what it means to make love to you
Nobody could understand your body
Quite as well as I do
The preachers and sacred history tell me
To see a good thing through
I bought you that red dress
Found you that address
I say hi to your friends
I told you forever
Whispered in your hair
Was that pretend
The moon is full, so is this glass
Enjoy it lady, it will be your last
Your eyes are strange, your fear is strong
Come hold me baby, make it last long
I ain't a fool, no way
You broke the law, I've got a thing to say
You and me, we're going down
To dead love town
