This old phone just keeps on ringing. Like a hammer in my head for three or four damn days now I’ve been lying in this bed. With my old friend Johnny Walker, who’s keeping me company. Helping me kill these memories and love she had for me. Before she went and spread her wings and wanted to be free.
Now my friends are all a calling
Leaving messages for me
Wondering what’s wrong, where I’ve gone , and why I’m so aloof
Tell them anything you want to
Don’t care what you say or do
Tell them anything you want to
Just don’t tell em all the truth
You can tell them I’m in Vegas
Lost every buck I’ve made
Say I’ve joined the circus
Or I’m jumping slow freight trains
That Ive become a Buddhist
Gone and shaved my head
That I’m now a groupie
Of the immortal Grateful Dead
Tell em anything you want to
Don’t care what you say or do
Tell em anything you want to
Just don’t tell em all the truth
Don’t say I’ve gone crazy
Around the bend insane
Cause them chemicals and whiskey
Can’t wash away this pain
Believed that I was stronger
Could tolerate most pain
never dreamed I could be brought down , by a woman on the brain
Guess I learned the hard way
Like a poets sad refrain
There ain’t no antidote for a woman on the brain
Yeah, my friends are all wondering where I’ve gone, why I’m aloof
Tell them anything you want to
Just don’t tell em all the truth
You can tell them I’m in Vegas. lost every buck I’ve made. say I’ve joined the circus or I’m jumping slow freight trains. that I’ve become a Buddhist. gone and shaved my head, that I’m now a groupie of the immortal grateful dead . Truth is I’ve cried a river when she walked out on me, could’ve flooded all of Nashville and washed it out to sea. Yeah Ive cried a river since she walked out on me . Could’ve flooded all of Nashville and the state of Tennessee. truth is I’ve gone crazy Ain’t nothing left to lose drowning in self-pity and an ocean full of booze. so just say I’ve hopped a freighter on the way to Timbuktu. Just don’t tell em I’ve gone crazy, crazy over losing you. Tell them anything you want to don’t care what you say or do tell them anything you want to just don’t tell them all the truth. Don’t tell them that I’m still that I’m still that I’m still in love with you.
