Pencils For Sale |
The first time I saw him was on 5th and Main |
Said his thirst was for wine and he sure could use some change |
He said wine can’t replace a good woman’s love |
But one thing it does, son, when she’s gone it eases the pain |
He spoke of a love he had ten years ago |
He said you know I still love her today |
And as he walked to the corner |
This is what I heard him say |
Pencils for sale, rings made from nails |
I’m sure I got something for you |
Hollywood maps for tourists that are |
Only passing through |
Pencils for sale, rings made from nails |
Look them over, take your time |
Cos right now my thirst has never been worse |
And I could sure use them nickels and dimes |
He said he hung out at most of the bars |
To hide scars folks cannot see |
For son the wounds that are the deepest |
They’re the ones locked inside of me |
A memory can cut through your soul |
Like the cold blade of a jagged knife |
And the times I used to hold her |
They were the best times of my life |
But now it’s pencils for sale, rings made from nails |
I’m sure I got something for you |
Hollywood maps for tourists that are |
Only passing through |
I got pencils for sale, and rings made from nails |
Look them over, just take your time |
Cos right now my thirst has never been worse |
And I could sure use them nickels and dimes |
