C          F
Saw her in Roosevelt Springs

             C
time doesn't touch anything

              F
she never did say she could sing

                 C
but I figured it so

I needed some company then not sisters or children again that's a hell of a spot to be in but she put me in tow Money and liquor and lust have taken my heart and my trust I could see ashes of dust headed my way She tended bar in town her alto settled me down so I started hanging around didn't need much to say

C7               F
She smelled like cigarettes and wine

            C
she kept me happy all the time

                  F         G7
I know that ain't much of a line

                       C   C7
but it's the God's own truth

               F
she lives down inside of me still

                 C
rolled up like a twenty dollar bill

            F                G7
she left me alone with these pills

                   C
and the last of my youth

Wings on her shoulders and feet a bar on Gethsemane street I took time to plan retreat backed out the door I must be attracted to those who've witnessed a man in the throes Of life that ain't grindstone to nose, but pedal to floor

C7               F
She smelled like cigarettes and wine

            C
she kept me happy all the time

                  F         G7
I know that ain't much of a line

                       C   C7
but it's the God's own truth

               F
she lives down inside of me still

                 C
rolled up like a twenty dollar bill

            F                G7
she left me alone with these pills

                  C
and my smoldering youth

Lost on the dry side of town My memories slowing me down She shook me and I came around I came back to life With nary a mother or dad She showed me what I never had The princess of leaves, she gets sad 'Cause I won't take a wife

C7               F
She smelled like cigarettes and wine

            C
she kept me happy all the time

                  F         G7
I know that ain't much of a line

                       C   C7
but it's the God's own truth

               F
she lives down inside of me still

                 C
rolled up like a twenty dollar bill

            F                G7
she left me alone with these pills

                   C
and the last of my youth
