I was down on one knee
Sliding that ring on your finger
That I bought after working
In Texas for a year

Now I'm down on two knees praying
I'll forget all
The lies you told
And the ones my mind found out

Looking fir an answer in the bottle
A grin like death
And breath that kills the trees
I put you out
Like a fire on the stove
Faster than greased lightning
I remembered your hands fooling
With the zipper on my jeans

I took two trips across town to the ***** house
Were liquor smiles put my heart at ease
And the only thing now that really matters
Is the way to bed and how much it'll be

At least I know that shes a two-timer
Its written out on practiced smiles
And lipstick
You reapply when I get dressed and leave
