The way you talk makes me ignore every single word
So I think of something else and fake it with the few I think I've heard
She used to pray each night for God to come and wash away my sins
But I'd just wake up and do them all over again
I knew it wouldn't last, you never bothered to ask
I'm just another bum who hopped on the wrong train
You're lucky you're just my wife because I've been like this my whole life
I was born drunk, tired and mean
I was brought up by desperate fools
Trying to drink away a small town curse
Until the day I met you baby
Things just started getting worse
Now I'm too old to even remember
Just what might have been
But I sure as hell wouldn't do any of this again
I knew it wouldn't last, you never bothered to ask
I'm just another bum who hopped on the wrong train
You're lucky you're just my wife because I've been like this my whole life
I was born drunk, tired and mean
