about

I remember writing that third verse, pacing around with my guitar in my basement apartment, a chilly rainy winter day. Country songs tend to be hard luck songs so this is a study in one.

lyrics

Every arrangement that I made this week
has left me lookin down at my shoe
and everyone of them politicians
they seemed the kind that you could trust

chorus:
I'm quittin today may my head turn grey
if I ask another to stay
I'm tryin to go it alone I couldn't stand another no
so if you see anyone with me that ain't me that ain't me

2.
I met a man in Macon in a boogie bar
I looked into his holy face
he was so sincere but after just three beer
he wanted me to join his church - chorus

3.
the rain comes fallin on my afternoon
a chill comes up under my door
the magnolia clean it's a winter green
melancholy in my room - chorus
