Hayes Carll

The Lovin' Cup

I got all night to remember you by

I got a half packed bag and a warmer night

Gonna love you, baby till the day I die

Don't worry

It's just sometimes people get a little fed up

Tired of not drinkin' from the lovin' cup

Y'all a-walk them on like itty bitty pup

And hurry

Well, seem like every time I get my heart

A couple good years then the bullshit starts

Did my best and I played my part

It's over

I'm sittin cross-legged in a holiday tree

Knowin' damn well you ain't a-thinkin' 'bout me

Just a sad reminder of what used to be

I'm gone

We go down, down, down, down, down

Love just left this town

If I had a dream, I guess I sold it

If I had a secret, Lord I told it

This here hand I never thought I'd fold it

Darlin'

Yeah, I had paid my dues and I served my time

We had a good tune but we never could rhyme

Put up a bug just to get back down

It's gone

I remember time when the news was right

And you said, "Go" we'd go all night

Now it's bitchin' moanin' fussin', fightin'

I'm tired, babe

If you're ever in trouble honey, I'll be there

But I'd rather be warm on a mournful bed

Black and seated, you don't care

I'm gone

We go down, down, down, down, down

Love just left this town

Oh what have I done

I can't believe these things I said

I let a couple of baggage go to my head

With a actual love I'll be old and dead

I'm sorry

It's gettin' hard to handle that lonesome sound

It's get back trouble I'm a-homeward bound

You're the only good thing as old boss man

I'm home

We go down, down, down, down, down

Love is back in town

We go down, down, down, down, down

The one good thing I found
