lyrics

The god of gambling, god of motels
The god of prayer can’t hear too well
Time changes but with people you can’t tell
Cuz most folks changing is slower than hell
She kept cutting me down I felt growing back
I shoulda watched her drift but I couldn’t face the facts
She was running like a ring to an open drain
Like Abel shoulda run away from cain

Shoulda woulda coulda

I was giving to her the very best I can
She was giving it away to another man
I see London, I see France
I see sand run through the hour glass
I don’t know jack Daniels from Jill
About what they think they’re doing up on Capitol Hill
A lot of it’s wrong, and there’s still a little bit right
It’s like a date from hell but the kiss at the door was nice

Shoulda woulda coulda

The land of the living, the sky of the dead
Rats in the walls and ghosts in my head
I’d play you a song but the piano is locked
I wish I had time but I can’t find a clock
In the ark of the old mattress on the hardwood floor
There’s just enough room for one soul more
I went to meet you halfway, but you weren’t there
Because I only asked, and you should have been dared

Shoulda woulda coulda
