Bad Apple

A bath tub with a stranger,
made love to a cajun dancer.
Then several hous later
life’s a little shoter.
The drink that overwhelmed me.
Such confusion over beauty.
A poison for the lonely
for all the world to see
When you’re out of time.
This bad apple’s no friend of mine.
When what you want’s not what you need.
When who you love is not what they seem.
When all you have you got for free.
The things you do you don’t believe
Mistakes you’ve made just never leave
When all you’ve had you got for free.
A picture of Jesus on your windshield,
a sunday afternoon,
Drive for miles and miles together.
Just me and you.
A wasted hour and I feel younger,
a million miles away.
The day I die gets a little closer
still here to stay.
When you’re out of time.
This bad apple’s no friend of mine
When what you want’s not what you need.
When who you love is not what they seem.
When all you have you got for free.
The things you do you don’t believe
Mistakes you’ve made just never leave
When all you’ve had you got for free.
