Lyrics Ways + Means - Mike Doughty

Ways + Means

The best I ever did with my life
Said just three honest words to you
Three droplets in a pail of lies
Three gems among the alibis
Yes, I know the ways and means I are, Ma
Yes I know the ways and means I are
The best I ever did with my love
Said your name on the microphone
You heard it the restaurant
Cashed out and brought your tips on home
The best I ever did with my bucks
Put two down on your horse to show
She lost but just kept racing round
Kept running til the sun went down
