lyrics

I went to work this Sunday mornin’
With the preacher in my head
And his words kept ringing:
“You’re gonna work until you’re dead.”
But the Lord he cannot save me
From all this trouble I have caused
For everything there is a season,
And for every wrong there is a law.

So I’m sittin’ in Colorado,
Watchin’ the sunset,
And waiting for my latest check to bounce

I came home this Friday evening
With your smoke still on my coat
And though it’s been 8 months and counting,
That smell will never get old.
And all those times you said you’d quit it,
I’d no idea that meant you’d run
But you’ll always be my cowboy
With a dime-store badge and a plastic gun.

So I’m sittin’ in Carolina,
Watchin’ the sunset,
And waiting for my latest check to bounce

I hope someday we’ll sit together
In our rockers on our porch
But I’d prob’ly bet against it:
Lady Luck never rode our horse.
But it makes a pretty picture
In water paints and colored lines,
Silver hair and faded windows,
If our love could stand the time,

We’d be sittin’ somewhere quiet
Watchin’ our sun set
And knowing that our checks would never bounce
