Damn Shame

I hid out on the front porch

I laid up in my mind

I looked for me a love

The best one I could find

He got himself a ticket on an international flight

Oh, it?s nothing

But a goddamn shame

Is what it is

Oh, it?s nothing

But a goddamn shame

The smell of burnt exhaust

Drifts into the bar

It?s midnight in California

It?s high noon where you are

Motorcycles and booze, dirty old perfume

Oh, it?s nothing

But a goddamn shame

Is what it is

Oh, it?s nothing

But a goddamn shame

I tried to go to sleep

In my haunted little room

The shadows are churning

In the passage of the moon

It?d break my heart to tell you, I couldn?t come so soon

Oh, it?s nothing

But a goddamn shame

Is what it is

Oh, it?s nothing

But a goddamn shame

Tell me one more time

Why you went away

It makes a little sense

In the light of day

When evening comes around all my senses fly away

It?s nothing

But a goddamn shame

Is what it is

Oh, it?s nothing

But a goddamn shame
