I danced in the desert in the pouring rain

Drank with the devil and forgot my name

Woke with somebody when the morning came

No one there to shame me for my youth

Cause i wouldn't be with you

And then i found me a little to play the bass

He's kind of quiet but his body aches

Spent the day dreaming and the nights awake

Doing things we know we shouldn't do

Cause i wouldn't be with you

Says you can't believe you found me

Wraps his arms around me

I can't let him in

You call me up and ask me how i've been

I'll call your bluff and keep on telling

Telling telling you lies

Keep on telling telling telling lies

No i can't let and you played me rough

But i won't let you win so call my bluff

I'll keep on drilling

Till i'm telling you lies

Keep on drilling 'til i'll telling you lies

I'll keep on climbing

'til the day they make come true

And i fell for a bag upon another tops

Lied and said his back was in a motor shop

Drove my car once and made the tire pop

Still we had some fun 'til i came too

Cause i wouldn't be with you

On the fourth of july i met a man pier

Height about his age but i didn't care

Smoking broken english with the heart

Was there

In those eyes of sky and ocean blue

Cause it wouldn't be with you

Says you can't believe he found me

Wraps his arms around me

I can't let him in

You call me up and ask me how i've been

I'll call you my friend

Keep on telling telling telling you lies

Keep on telling telling telling you lies

But i can't let them in

You play it rough

But i won't let you win

So call my bluff

I'll keep on telling them

Telling you lies

Keep on trying 'til i'm drowning in your eyes

I won't count down

Till the day they may come true

I'm counting down

I'm still sober

I'll come around
