Tuning: one whole step down (DGCFAD)
Oh oh darling, will you ring me up?
will you take me to the drive-in, make a bed of your truck?
oh oh darling, I wouldn't die for you
but I might throw down in this dirt 'till these skinny knees turn blue
just to beg a dance from you
if I believe in it, what wetness fills this cup
can I turn it into hope or is it still just some whiskey shot?
If it's money on my mind then it goes down rough
but if it's heartbreak that is drowning us
it goes down easy enough
well if lying up a storm hurts as bad as this
why then do you insist lining your pockets with this?
well you ought shovel out your bed and lay for dead in it
don't be calling me up when you're sad that I don't regret
well ships go down and trains derail
tanks overturn and pilots bail
but if there's one thing that I learned in all of this
it's that sometimes we sink, sometimes we sink before we sail
sometimes we sink, sometimes we sink before we sail
