lyrics

I got dumped by another drummer
A little bitty boy in a suit
I’m surprised he made it thru the summer
He acted so strange, he thought that it was cute to do

He wore fancy shoes and girls blue jeans
And you can hear him coming up the street
Rumbling and a-tumbling, stumbling and a-mumbling
Falling off his throne, putting powder on his little feet

He sent me a message at three a.m.
From the bottom of his vodka heart
It said “I am done, it’s over, man
I can’t keep it together, so I guess I’ll just fall apart”

And I am going to miss him
I’ve already cried
These tears before me
Tell the story
Find the moral
It’s there to find

I got dumped by another lover
A pretty big girl from Dubuque
She spoke of love like a birthday card
“Don’t hold on too long or it’s bound to break your little heart”

She was six foot six and she wore me out
Like a saddle too loose to ride
She liked shucking corn to Lawrence Welk
And I can’t put into words the way that makes me feel inside

She left me a letter in my notebook
Like a song I forgot to write
With the best damn line I’ll never have written
“So long, Honey, but I’m a fish that doesn’t bite”

And I am going to miss her
I've already cried
These tears before me
Tell the story
Find the moral
It's there to find

I settled up with that little bitty drummer
He went back to Pennsylvania today
Standing in the rain, waiting for a train
With a big black eye, from messing with a hurricane

So I got drunk and then I thunk, thunk, thunk
About that lover loving someone new
And crossed the Mississippi, wishing it were whiskey
So I could jump in, and swim about a week or two

So friends I guess the message is
You gotta talk before you start to run
Because whether its a drummer or an 7-foot lover
There's good to be found, hope inside of everyone

And I am going to miss you
I've already cried
There tears of glory
Pool before me
Find the moral
It's there to find
