Lyrics Daniel Johnston

Daniel Johnston

Country Song

Well, it's been a long time since I've had a drink of

alcohol

Since the babies grieved and grandma lost a leg

There ain't no sense in draggin' the lake anymore

There are bats in the belfry and there's liquor at the

store

Oh I've had a look or two at her figure at times

That girl in her tight wearin' bra drivin' me out of my

mind

And there ain't no sense in rememberin' nothin' for

score

'Cause my dad fought the japs in the war

And - and - snd there ain't any more

If I was thinkin' about Thelesa

How she tempted me in the basement

Recording every noise I made

There weren't no sense in what they had to say

'Cause they're tryin' to kill me and they say it's

judgment day

When I think of her lips the way she had 'em at the

store that night

The undertaker was waitin' in the parking lot

She told me I'd be going to find myself in a desperate

way

It was the best moment of my life

If you think that they'll find you it really doesn't

matter

I'll try my best to save you from the flatterer

There ain't no sense in cryin' 'cause I'm gonna win in

the end

And you'll all be sittin' 'round havin' a good time
