Sour Mash And Cigarette Ash

from Clean And Polished For You EP by James R. Gray

/

lyrics

My apartment’s full of strangers,
and I wish I was back home.
Cuz my girlfriend’s waiting for me,
and the beer is always cold.
My guitar’s got a busted string,
so I can’t even play tonight.
I’ll just go to bed. I’ll go turn out the lights.

And I’ll sleep until I just can’t sleep no more.
I’ll slip under the covers
and I’ll stay there til the end.
And I’ll sleep until I don’t wake up no more.

The whiskey’s tasting bitter,
and that’s just what I deserve.
The sour mash and the cigarette ash
paint the perfect verse.
A lonely night and a lonely day,
my girl’s too far away.
I wonder if she’s thinking about me,
cuz I thought of her all day.

And I’ll sleep until I just can’t sleep no more.
I’ll slip under the covers
and I’ll stay there til the end.
And I’ll sleep until I don’t wake up no more.

I need to go home and see my girl,
but my car’s all busted up.
I got no money left to fix it,
so it looks like I’ll stay stuck.
But somehow, some way, I’ll come back someday.
And it’ll be just like before.
And we’ll kiss until we just can’t kiss no more
