Held on to your letters They're getting better with age Now my desk's like a pulpit And my bed like a stage See all these debts keep me under Ain't no words worth the cost If i should carry me farther The load of a lover once lost We used to walk down the road To buttermilk falls Dips in your feet put your hair down Thinkin i just won't make it And if i go back tomorrow will i Still feel the same I put my feet in the water but the water got hotter so i just Keep my body by the edge of the bay Make believe we were younger Forget the money we owe But you got your prior commitments baby Just wish i had some of my own Cuz ain't no loving me Before you know what i'm worth You were the life of the party And i am the scum of the earth But we used to walk down the road To buttermilk falls Dips in your feet put your hair down Thinkin i just won't make it And if i go back tomorrow will i Still feel the same I put my feet in the water but the water got hotter so i just Keep my body by the edge of the bay
