Em
Worried woman with a worried mind
Am
No one in front of me and nothing behind
Em                                B7
Sittin' on a strange man's lap, drinkin' champagne

I'm looking up into a sapphire tinted sky

Feel like I'm standing on the gallows with my head in a noose

Forty miles of bad road

If the bible is right, the whole damn world's gonna explode

Some things are too hot to touch

The human mind can only stand so much

You just can't win with a losing hand

Lotta water under the bridge, a lotta other stuff, too

This place here ain't doing me no good

It's got me all fxcked up, I should be in Hollywood

Gonna take dancin' lessons, gonna learn the jitterbug rag

I ain't takin' no shortcuts, I might even dress in drag

Feel like fallin' in love with the very next man I see

Grab him by the hand, and go runnin', ooh, down the street

The next sixty seconds could be like an eternity

All the truth in the world ain't nothin' but one big lie

I'm in love with a man that don't even appeal to me
