Lyrics The Thing I Can't Erase - Mojo Juju

The Thing I Can't Erase

Underneath that Stetson hat
Beside the bed, yeah under that
There is a letter I addressed
To that woman, I undressed her
Every night and every day
I wanted her so many ways
And now I’ve gone and done a thing
That I cannot erase
Now she’s gonna have to read it
If only I could just delete it
Take it back, oh god, undo it
She’ll find to many ways to misconstrue it
But truths are truths and I can’t lie
'Cause that’s no way to live a life
And now I have to tell her things
That I cannot erase
Down at The Cross
Out in the street
I shot somebody
She loved more than me
I saw red and now he’s dead
And I must flee
Oh, I never meant to hurt you
Take your love and desert you
Baby, I was always kind
But that don’t mean that I was blind
See I knew you’d been untrue
I guess that just makes me a fool
For the mess we were in
I could not walk away
So I took me to the Fifty-Fifty
Drank myself into a beast
He came in all looking shifty
Knew exactly where he’d been
If he weren’t so goddamn polite
He’d have probably made it through the night
But I’d already half a mind to put him in his place
It started as a conversation
I would not want overheard
And so I asked if he would join me
Outside for a quiet word
And when I had him all alone
How strangely I was overcome
I swear I did not mean to do
The thing that I have done
Down at The Cross
Out in the street
I shot somebody
She loved more than me
I saw red and now he’s dead
And I must flee
So, underneath that Stetson hat
Beside the bed, yeah under that
There is a letter I addressed
But darlin' words cannot express
Oh, every night and every day
I try to find the words to say
And so I never wrote it down
That I cannot erase
Down at The Cross
Out in the street
I shot somebody
She loved more than me
I saw red and now he’s dead
And I must flee
