Well she rolled in like the weather
Well she came down like the rain
Don't know where from but she landed in this city
Like the cat had dragged her in
And she looked better dirty
Than anyone raised clean
Sitting on the broken steps of the cathedral
Where an angel should've been
Roll another dollar, take another train
Put down roots then break the ground
And pull them up again
Pour another whiskey, raise it to the sky
Then toss it back and hit the town
Like practicing to fly
Well she had eyes like steel shooters
Well she had hair of emerald green
She had every city sidewalk at her mercy
In underneath a week
She asked me for a light outside the barroom
But she was made of kerosene
So I just breathed her in until I went all dizzy
And woke up on the street
Roll another dollar, take another train
Build a life then light a match
And burn it down again
Roll another barrel with a single bead of lead
One in six just take the risk
And put it to your head
Well I don't know where she went to when she left me
But I know she went there quick
And I'm sure I'm just another piece of past she has no patience for
Even then she never did
Roll another dollar, take another train
Choose a mark and break a heart
Then do it all again
Pour another whiskey, raise it to the sky
Then toss it back and hit the road
Without a last goodbye
