shakey graves - saving face (early version of roll the bones) lyrics

[verse 1]
come 20 days when you get married
i’ll hold longer and wait
i don’t think i can save face honestly
enough to make it through the day
she likes to dream that i’m still there but

[chorus]
baby i am homeless, d+mn i love the morning
stag on me and right outta town
living with my family, d+mn i was so happy
why did i leave that hollow ground

[verse 2]
go tell the father his daughters pregnant
yeah shes gon’ have a baby boy
he’ll come out drinking, cussing and stinking
yeah that’s our little bundle of joy

[chorus]
cause’ daddy can’t forget all his enemies and debts
yeah they chase him round and give him sour dreams
like tied up to a tree all my family and me
just keep running round’ in circles that we’ve left

[chorus]
don’t you run away if your boy he wants to stay
i know he loves me more than you ever could
something bout’ your taste is such a sad thing to waste
it’s like you bottle in, you know i surely would
[verse 4]
please ask the doctor to stop the pain
am i tired of this world and this fire
please ask the doctor to stop the pain
am i tired of this world and this fire
my only bed is all made up i am ready to be cast into the fire

[chorus]
so sell my belongings all my clever drawings
try to make a dollar from the grave
give flowers to my friends i’ll be with them until the end
and then my memory will always remain

[outro]
ain’t life sweet, ain’t life sweet
