Wake Up Ray by Richmond Fontaine Lyrics

It ain't no use, ain't no use
Maybe some guys iust ain’t meant to
I was living in Montana once and I was married
For a while it rolled so easy
But it got to where she couldn’t stand our place
She got to where she cringed
At the way I slept and ate
I bought her a bird, a finch she called Little Joe
And then one night she blew into a rage
In a snowstorm she ran outside
And opened up the cage

Wake up Ray and let’s get out of here
This town’s done nothing it’s clear
But try to do us in

Wake up Ray, the sun’s coming up
And still I can’t stop thinking
How can someone you love so much
Grow against you so?
All I did was try to toe that line
The same line you see everyone else toe
Now all I remember is running through the snow
Looking for Little Joe as the wind blowed
Wake up Ray, I need a cup of coffee in a bad way
This town’s done nothing it’s clear but try to do us in
