Thank You

It was August and I had a ton of problems

A well dressed bum with empty pockets

And to be honest I don't know how I got there

One thing just led to the next

They say everything that you do in this life there's a heaven or hell

That you make for yourself and man I've learned that again and again

Thought my ship had sailed I drank myself senseless

Said I was fine, but I never meant it

Then you came to save me

Girl I don't know just how I can thank you

We'll lay on the couch all day long

With the steel band music on the record player

And god only knows what I could have done

To deserve you when I'm such a screw up

Commitment

I've never been much for

I'm so irresponsible I could win awards

And sometimes I won't call for days

I get so spun out I forget my own name

But as the sun filters in through the cheap bamboo curtains we hung up with tacks

I leave you to sleep while I go in and heat frozen pizza for breakfast

Well I got so lost I barely could think

I'd close down the bars I'd wander the street

Then you came to save me

Girl I don't know just how I can thank you

We'll lay on the couch all day long

With the Louis Prima on the record player

And god only knows what I could have done

To deserve you girl when I'm such a screw up
