Tuning: one whole step down (DGCFAD)
Oh oh darling, will you ring me up?
will you take me to the drive-in, make a bed of your truck?
oh oh darling, I wouldn t die for you
but I might throw down in this dirt till these skinny knees turn blue
just to beg a dance from you
if I believe in it, what wetness fills this cup
can I turn it into hope or is it still just some whiskey shot?
If it s money on my mind then it goes down rough
but if it s heartbreak that is drowning us
it goes down easy enough
well if lying up a storm hurts as bad as this
why then do you insist lining your pockets with this?
well you ought shovel out your bed and lay for dead in it
don t be calling me up when you re sad that I don t regret
well ships go down and trains derail
tanks overturn and pilots bail
but if there s one thing that I learned in all of this
it s that sometimes we sink, sometimes we sink before we sail
sometimes we sink, sometimes we sink before we sail
