I don't know why I even bother
Don't know what I ever saw in you
I guess in my heart you were a lodger
That left me broken down and beat and used
I am not a preacher, I'm the choir
And yes I've payed my fairest share of dues
It takes a lot of sticks to built a fire
But just one day of rain to see if through
Take me to the border gonna leave it all behind
Lord it's been a long time since I had a piece of mind
Take me to the Southern town where all the weather is fine
Lord it's been a while now since he ain't been on my mind
Candy coat your heart with bits of cocaine
Maybe then you'll feel a thing or two
Sleep around the midnight town till morning
Wake up knowing that the jokes on you
The saddest thing of all is the inside
The inside of an empty glass of wine
Cause' even though the glass is clear and shining
All I see's this empty heart of mine
Take me to the border gonna leave it all behind
Lord it's been a long time since I had a piece of mind
Take me to the Southern town where all the weather is fine
Lord it's been a while now since he ain't been on my mind
Take me to the border gonna leave it all behind
Lord it's been a long time since I had a piece of mind
Take me to the Southern town where all the weather is fine
Lord it's been a while now since he ain't been on my mind
Take me to the border gonna leave it all behind
Lord it's been a long time since I had a piece of mind
Take me to the Southern town where all the weather is fine
Lord it's been a while now since he ain't been on my mind
