lyrics

I got whiskey on my breath and on my clothes
And not too many places left to go
And I guess I’ll pack it in and head on home
That place I go to cry when I’m alone

And it got too hard to stop
Praying I don’t see ya’ out with him
I’m goin where I never thought you would
That’s why I skipped and left this damn town

But now I miss them cardinals singin in the wind
And that bluegrass stickin' through my toes (good lord knows)
I gotta pretty little girl just hangin on my arm
But she don’t know me like you do, babe
She don’t know me like you do, babe
Well, she don’t know me like you do, babe

And I’m flyin’ down them back roads again
Fuckin’ with them unforgivable sins
And I hold my head up high so I don’t choke
On that pride that I’m struggling to chug

And I once dreamt of children with you (but you got your own)
Now I’m wakin’ in the dead of the night (all alone)
And I smoked all the brains from my head (and guess what)
Still all I see - is you

Cause now I miss them cardinals singin in the wind
And that bluegrass stickin' through my toes (good lord knows)
I gotta pretty little girl hangin' on my arm
But she don’t know me like you do, babe
She don’t know me like you do, babe
Well, she don’t know me like you do, babe

Yes, she don’t know me like you do

Jesco Payne & the Painkillers image

Jesco Payne & the Painkillers Portland, Oregon

Taking influence from his Appalachian roots, Jesco Payne & the Painkillers sing songs that long for home, mourn lost love and glamorize the occasional rough and rowdy time through cathartic country music that pays homage to the pioneers of honky tonk and outlaw country. ... more
