The Cactus King

I’ve been thinking, I’ve been trying
to look the other way
I start drinking, I stop thinking
you’re always in my way
so today, I’ll throw it all away
Got a hole in my yard
don’t mistake it for my heart
it’ll swallow you, relieve my aching head
I know, you loved me all along
I can honestly say I can’t deal with you tonight
when I know all you really want is me to see you cry
you’ll never let it go you’ll never look the other way
you ask about tomorrow still obsessed with yesterday
wasting your time
It takes timing, it takes patience
but I’ll do it anyway
I’ll make a crime scene out of the pavement
and disregard the trail, straight to jail
I’ll have your mother post my bail
Got a hole in my yard
and your head’s under my car
so please hold still, its under there somewhere
I swear, I loved you all along
