Towns right now ain't nothing like they used to be
Towns right now ain't nothing like they used to be
And I'll tell you all the truth, won't you take my word from me
I've seen better days, but I ain't putting up with these
I've seen better days, but I ain't putting up with these
I've seen better days, but I ain't putting up with these
I had a lot better time with those women down in New Orleans
I was born in the country, so she thinks I'm easy to lose
I was born in the country, so she thinks I'm easy to lose
She wants to hitch me to New Orleans
She wants to hitch me to New Orleans
She wants to hitch me to New Orleans
She wants to hitch me to New Orleans

I bought her a cold red jean, but I paid the rent
I bought her a cold red jean, but I paid the rent
I bought her a cold red jean, but I paid the rent
She tried to get me to wash her clothes, but I got good conmen


Well, if you don't love me, then why don't you just tell me so?
Well, if you don't love me, then why don't you just tell me so?
It ain't like I'm a man that ain't got nowhere else to go
I'll give you sugar for sugar, all you want is salt for salt
I'll give you sugar for sugar, all you want is salt for salt
Well, if you can't get along with me, then why don't you just tell me so?

If you can't get along with me, then it's your own fault
Well, you want me to love you, but then you just treat me mean
I want me to love you, but then you just treat me mean
You're my daily thought and you're my nightly dream
Sometimes I think that you're just too sweet to die
Sometimes I think that you're just too sweet to die
And other times I think that you ought to be buried alive
And other times I think that you ought to be buried alive
