lyrics

She said I like your boots
Want the counter or the booth?
The Erie County Fair kicks off tonight

If you haven't got no plans
Maybe I could be your fancy?
Chet Atkins will be playing the Grandstand

Call me darling, call me pumpkin
Bring me coffee and a muffin
If that stocking keeps on running I'm your man

All the livestock in the world
I wouldn't trade for with you girl
But Something in this diner don't smell right

You try living with yourself
It'll cost you next to nothing
I'll keep siphoning your love
You'll keep sucking out my poison

I gotta Rolodex of bullets
For all the men that I put holes in
This ashtray's full of butts that aren't my brand

And all the dudes that you've been serving
will have to get what they're deserving
I'm steady with a caffeinated hand

She said I'm sorry bout your boots
But if you want to know the truth
Those cowboys never really stood a chance

Does blood come out of leather?
I wish you hadn't lost your temper
Always the waitress, but never the wife

You try living with yourself
I'll cost you next to nothing
I'll keep siphoning your love
You'll keep sucking out my poison

You try living with yourself
I'll cost you next to nothing
I'll keep siphoning your love
You'll keep sucking out my poison
