| 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 |
