Acid Tongue

Capo 2

I went to a cobbler to fix a hole in my shoe

He took one look at my face and said, "I can fix that hole in you"

I beg your pardon I'm not looking for a cure

Seen enough of my friends in the depths of the god-sick blues

You know I am a liar You know I am a liar

Nobody helps a liar

‘Cause I've been down to Dixie and dropped acid on my tongue

Tripped upon the land until enough was enough

I was a little bit lighter and adventure on my sleeve

I was a little drunk and looking for company

So I found myself a sweetheart with the softest of hands

We were unlucky in love but I'd do it all again

We build ourselves a fire We build ourselves a fire

You know I am a liar You know I am a liar

And you don't know what I've done

And by the rolling river is exactly where I was

There was no snake or cure for unlucky in love

To be lonely is a habit like smokin’ or taking drugs and I've quit them both

But man, was it rough

Now I am tired It just made me tired

Let's build ourselves a fire

Let's build ourselves a fire
