Heart on Layaway by Eli Elkus Lyrics
Well, my mind has gone a missin'
Left a note - said it gone fishin'
And I'm wishin' that's the way it's gonna stay
That lord, he made my mind for losin'
Gave me drugs there for abusin'
Honey, you can put my heart on layaway...
And in my blood I'm full of doubt
And I don't know what that's about
So I give it at the clinic twice a day
I got a dog now it's December
There's a job I can't remember
Honey, you can put my heart on layaway
Yeah, I'd swear ya it's a dangerous mindset
But honey, I'm a changed man!
Yeah, I took all the right steps...
I got a foolproof plan
No, and I don't wanna be reminded
There of all that I've been givеn
I don't want ya to know...
Where I come from
Oh, so gimmе a drag
Honey, whatcha smokin'?
Yeah, front me a bag
Nah, I ain't jokin'
Forever broke
Ain't never broken
I'll be sober
When I'm dead
There's too much I haven't not seen or not said yet
Too many people I haven't screwed over
Too many bills I haven't not paid
Got too many friends I haven't not made
Gimme a toke
Mama, whatcha rippin'?
Bum me a smoke
Goddamn I'm trippin'!
Gimme that kickdown
Gimme a buck
Yeah, I'm down on my luck...
But I'm on the up!
Now I'm a born again drifter
And it ain't that I don't miss her
I just see that picture bigger than the frame
If there ain't a damn thing I could do
To make you think I'm true to you
Honey, up and leave and put my heart on layaway
And I don't know just what I'm doin'
I swear that liquor do the choosin'
But I've had more places to stay than bills I've paid...
Them rich'll spend their scratch on rags
If my money buys your right to brag
Then honey, go on and put my heart on layaway
Yes, I'd swear ya it's a dangerous mindset
But honey, I'm a changed man!
Yeah, I took all the right steps...
I got a foolproof plan
No, and I don't wanna be reminded
There of all that I've been given
I don't want ya to know...
Where I come from
Oh, so gimme a drag
Honey, whatcha smokin'?
Yeah, front me a bag
Nah, I ain't jokin'
Forever broke
Ain't never broken
I'll be sober
When I'm dead
There's too much I haven't not seen or not said yet
Too many people I haven't screwed over
Too many bills I haven't not paid
Got too many friends I haven't not made
House me up
Honey, jump my bones
Buy me a beer
I ain't got no home!
Gimme that kick down
Gimme a buck
Yeah, I'm down on my luck...
But I'm on the up!
That's right...
Left a note - said it gone fishin'
And I'm wishin' that's the way it's gonna stay
