lyrics

I COULD NEVER LOVE YOU

Verse 1
you can leave a bag of money on my doorstep
or plant black roses in the dirt
sew up the bullet holes in my jacket
and wash out all the blood stains from my shirt

Chorus
but i could never love you
i dont even like you
get as far away from me as you can
find another load that you can carry
give somebody else your helping hand

Verse 2
you bring me pizza while i work the overnight shift
and bourbon while i mop the morning floors
you fill my gas tank to the top with unleaded
and pick the flies from the spider webs on my screen door

Chorus
but i could never love you
i dont even like you
get as far away from me as you can
find another load that you can carry
give somebody else your helping hand

Bridge
you tell me you are honest
you tell me you are fair
but i'd rather scale the walls of death
than run my fingers through your venomous hair

Verse 3
still you can slip a pistol deep into my jacket
and perjure yourself in court if i am caught
but i will never turn my eyes in your direction
or water the flowers that you brought

Chorus
because i could never love you
i dont even like you
get as far away from me as you can
find another load that you can carry
give somebody else your helping hand
