Lyrics The Lovin' Cup - Hayes Carll

The Lovin' Cup

I got all night to remember you by
I got half-packed bag and a wonderin' eye
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
Gotta walk on my own like a little bitty pup and hurry
Yeah, it seem like every time I give my heart
A couple good years and the bullshit starts
I did my best honey, played my part, it’s over
Now I’m sittin' cross-legged in a heartache tree
Knowin' damn well you ain’t a' thinking about me
Just a sad reminder of a used to be, I’m gone
And 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'
Well, I paid my dues and I served my time
We had a good tune but we never could rhyme
Put up a buck just to get back a dime, its gone
I remember a time when the mood was right
And you’d say go and we’d go all night
Now it’s bitch, and moan, and fuss, and fight, I’m tired babe
If you’re even in trouble honey, I’ll be there
But I’d rather be one than a mournful pair
The blind can see that you dont care, I’m gone
And we go down, down, down, down, down
Love just left town
Oh, what have I done?
I can’t believe these things I said
I let a couple bad years get to my head
Without your love, I’d be old and dead, I’m sorry
It’s getting hard to handle that lonesome sound
It’s goodbye trouble, I’m a' homeward bound
You’re the only good thing this old boy’s found
I’m home
And we go down, down, down, down, down
Love is back in town
And we go down, down, down, down, down
The one good thing I found
