Saving Face - Shakey Graves

Come 20 days when you get married

I’ll go a wanderin' away

I don’t think I can save face honestly enough

To make it through the day

She likes to dream that I’m still there

But baby I am homeless

Damn I love the moments

That got me right out of town

Livin' with my family

Damn I was so happy

Why did I leave that hallowed ground

But ain’t life sweet

Go tell the father his daughter’s pregnant

Yeah she’s gonna have a baby boy

Hell come out drinkin', cussin', and stinkin'

Yeah that’s our little bundle of joy

Cause daddy can’t forget all his enemies and debts

Yeah they chase him round and sour dreams

Like tied up to a tree my family and me just keep runnin' round

In circles that we’ve left

Don’t you run away if your body wants to stay

You know it loves me more than you ever could

Somethin' bout your taste is such a sad thing to waste

If I could bottle you know I surely would

But ain’t life sweet

Please ask the doctor to stop the pain yeah my time in this world has expired

Please ask the doctor to stop the pain yeah my time in this world has expired

My only bed is all made up I’m ready to be cast into the fire

So sell my belongings all my clever drawings try to make a dollar from the

Grave

Give flowers to my friends I’ll be with them to the end in them my memory

Will always remain

Ooh ain’t life sweet

Yeah ooh ain’t life sweet
