Held on to your letters They’re getting better with age Now my desk’s like a pulpit And my bed like a stage See all these debts keep me under Ain’t no words worth the cost If I should carry me farther And the load of a lover once lost
We used to walk down the road To Buttermilk Falls Dippin’ your feet, put your hair down Thinkin’ I just won’t make it And if I go back tomorrow, would I Still feel the same? I put my feet in the water but the water got hotter so I just Keep my body by the edge of the bay, uh huh
Make believe we were younger Forget the money we owe But you got your prior commitments baby Just wish I had some of my own, oh ‘Cause ain’t no loving me Before you know what I’m worth You were the life of the party And I am the scum of the earth
We used to walk down the road To Buttermilk Falls Dippin’ your feet, put your hair down Thinkin’ I just won’t make it And if I go back tomorrow, would I Still feel the same? Oh, I put my feet in the water but the water got hotter so I just Keep my body by the edge of the bay, uh huh
