Love is a hangover train from Denver
Casting off vein-strained eyes.
Broken hearts with tangled tracks,
The day I said goodbye.
Pulling the thread through the needle,
My hands feel the smack.
Cracking this ruler catching cool winds
For me there's no going back.
'Cause honey I said you were the one to blame
For all the wrongs that I've done
But I've still got my evil ways, evil ways
But its me that has to pay and pay
So I set off for the mile-high city
With only eight dollars and my clothes in a paper sack.
But there won't be no light on there to greet me,
Just the bars down on old Colfax.
The leaves of the trees are falling.
What the hell am I to do,
While this train is slowly rolling
Past the girl that I knew?
'Cause honey I said you were the one to blame
For all the wrongs that I've done
But I've still got my evil ways, evil ways
But its me that has to pay and pay
Now, I'm walking these city streets
Looking for a home.
And I know she's just an illusion
So I got to go it alone.
'Cause honey I said you were the one to blame
For all the wrongs that I've done
But I've still got my evil ways, evil ways
But its me that has to pay and pay
Love is a hangover train from Denver
Casting off vein-strained eyes.
Broken hearts with tangled tracks,
The day I said goodbye.
