The ??? is high, and so am I
It's a lonesome starless night
And even though I already know
Still I'm asking why
Why did I think that I could tame a restless soul, a bird in flame?
Your poison lips, your swingin' hips
Your devil sway
So I'm here, I'm drinking beer
I'm burning all the things
That remind me of unrequited love
I'm chokin' back the tears
Why did I think that you would stay?
That you would take my name?
I took it all and threw it away
With your devil sway
I'm choppin' wood, all my worldly goods
Are goin' in the fire
Your diamond ring, the kitchen sink
Even the tractor tires
I may be drunk, but I am sane
And I am ??? up the flames
I'm gonna lose, to start again
From your devil sway
Your devil sway
Your evil way
Your devil sway
Your devil sway
