I've got a woman, she's wild as Rome
She likes to lay naked and be gazed upon
She crosses a bridge and sets it on fire
And then lands like a bird on a telephone wire
Wine bottles scattered like last night's clothes
Cigarettes and papers and dominoes
She laughs for a minute 'bout the shape I'm in
She says, "You be the sinner, honey, I'll be the sin"
I'm gonna holler, and I'm gonna scream
I'm gonna get me some mescaline
She brings me roses and a place to lean
A drunken poet's dream

I believe, my harp has got a busted reef
Oh, my lips are chapped and about to bleed
And she tastes like pills and cheap cologne
She tells me I don't ever have to drink alone
There's some money on the table and a pistol on the floor
A few paperback books of Louis L'Amour
She says, "Honey, don't worry 'bout Judgement Day
Ain't goin' to heaven, just stay in our way
I'm gonna holler, and I'm gonna scream
I'm gonna get me some mescaline
She brings me roses and a place to lean
A drunken poet's dream

I've got a woman, she's wild as Rome
She likes to lay naked and be gazed upon
She crosses a bridge, then sets it on fire
And then lands like a bird on a telephone wire
I'm gonna holler, and I'm gonna scream
I'm a-gonna get me some mescaline
She brings me roses and a place to lean
I'm gonna holler, and I'm gonna scream
I'm gonna get me some mescaline
She brings me roses and a place to lean
A drunken poet's dream
Ray, thank you so much, man
For soming out handy and doin' this with me, appreciate it
Just make sure that check isn't post edit like last time
I know it, at your age is not easy to do anything, so thank you
It means a lot (that don't mean much to me)
Thanks for taking me on tour that one time
Well, I just needed someone to carry my amp upstairs
I guess it was a tour, you didn't reall let me get on stage
But I carried all the gear (I just said that)
A good life experience, so thank you
You're more than welcome
Do it again, not really
I've learned my lesson
