Drunken Poet's Dream (Album Version) - Hayes Carll

I got a woman she's wild as Rome

She likes to lay naked

And be gazed upon

She crosses a bridge

And then sets it on fire

Lands like a bird on a telephone wire

Wine bottles scattered like

Last nights clothes

Cigarettes papers and dominoes

She laughs for a minute

About the shape I'm in

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 poets dream

There's some money on the table

And a pistol on the floor

Some old paper back

Books of Louis L'Amour

She says "honey don't worry

'Bout judgement day "

All these people goin' to heaven

They're just 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 poets dream

And all my life I laid around

While the colors all turned blue

Where closed my eyes and finally found

It brought me back to you

I 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

Lands like a bird on a telephone wire

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 poets dream

A drunken poets dream

A drunken poets
