lyrics

My heart was ripe for the pickin'
The kind you find in bargain bins
Funny how my memory serves me
When my minds been soaking in gin

I seem to recall that you loved me
Although it could have been the booze
So sweet, so innocent, and trusting
But she was probably drunk then too

The snow is falling and it's freezing
Another hundred miles or so to Buffalo
Haulin' pine since last Tuesday
Should I find her or just keep on driving home?

She's a losing scratch off ticket
Saddle sores and lovesick blues
So why did I find her so alluring?
Jesus Christ, I'll bet it's the booze

I seem to recall losing money
When she left the motel room
So sly, deceptive, oh so cunning
A rattlesnake inside my boots

The snow is falling and it's freezing
Another hundred miles or so to Buffalo
Haulin' Pine since last Tuesday
I think I'll pass that no good rest stop and go home
