Great Lake

Teri comes in laughing
Shakes her coat off
And I just can’t bear to look
Anymore I hear somebody laughing
I just figure, I’ve been took
She stands right behind me With one hand on my back
My eyes are closed
At first I think she speaks to me But when I hear him say, «Hi»
I say, «oh»
Oh, oh, oh Here come the angels talking sweet to me Just like the thought that I was dumb
Like I don’t hear the talk from town
Like I don’t know what’s ‘bout to come
Everybody knows they left Paul without his clothes
Behind the barn in tears
Now we can’t get him off that God damned horse
He’s been there for years
Years, years, years
It’s ten o’clock the tv’s on my bed
The news is on, it’s never good
I’m up, I’m up, I’m getting up, I will
I know I really should
This lake is too big for me Jesus
Don’t hold me to anything I do If I surrender now and let it swallow me Don’t think they won’t blame you
You, you, you, you
Don’t think they won’t blame you
Don’t think they won’t blame you
