lyrics

I’m feelin’ so lonesome and cold in my bed
The dishes gettin’ dirty, there’s mold on my bread
And ever since you left me, I’ve done nothing but sin
And the highways callin’ my name again
But I got a day job, honey, pushin’ a broom
And I got a night gig at a local saloon
And it don’t pay much money, but it’ll do
At least to keep from thinkin’ of you.
But if I were to tell you that I’m doin’ just fine,
Well ya’ know I’d be lyin’, half of the time,
I said I was great, but every once in awhile,
I look at your picture and long for your smile, pretty girl
It’s been so long, so long, so long pretty girl,
So long, so long, so long, pretty girl

Ya’ know sticks and stones can break your bones,
But songs can make you cry
So long, so long, good bye, so long, so long, good bye
Ring, ring, ring on the telephone,
Ring, ring, ring when there’s no one home,
Ring, ring, ring, when you’re all along, no one but the dial tone

I’m feeling so lonesome so I gave you a ring
I left a drunken message on your answering machine,
I tried to write a letter, but it came out wrong
So I’m tryin’ to get it right with this song
Because I miss ya’, I miss you so much
We used to be better at keepin’ in touch,
But it’s alright, It’s alright, You’re doin just fine,
And don’t ya know, don’t ya’ know, I’m tryin’
But if you were to tell me that you’re doin’ just fine,
Well I know you’d be lyin, smilin’ and cryin’
You said you were great but bit your tongue in denile,
Now you bleed from your teeth every time that you smile, pretty girl
It’s been so long, so long, so long, pretty girl
So long, so long, so long, pretty girl
Ya’ know sticks and stones can break your bones, but songs can make you cry
So long, so long, good bye, so long, so long, goodbye

"By the end of the performance, listeners might have walked away humming the catchy refrain to the group’s song “Pedophile Pete.”" ~ CMJ

"The Dewars, I'd imagine, would suggest that you just sing along while they provide the soundtrack" ~ The Village Voice ... more
