ALL THE DEALS YOU DONE

Well it’s bad to give your sweetheart false jewelry
Rolling out on the lonesome like a cowboy in winter
Out on bald prairies still breaking them numbers 
You slit your horse’s belly for a little shelter
Warmth that makes a grown ass man break down and weep 

Oh somebody better change the channel in this broke down bar
Did you ever dream all the deals you done would be exactly
Who you are

Well it’s bad to go live under some old Christmas tree
Slugging back your vodka, you curse and bellyache
Yodeling songs, every goddamn song it takes
About things going south again and keeping awake
All those who have nothing to lose but their precious sleep

Well it’s bad to default on your memory
Telling all those you hated you love them now and yet
I was the one you loved just in case you forget 
We groomed a taste for blood, blood and regret 
All this time sorrow and rage is that all weep

SPOILER—THIS SONG IS ABOUT: watching a TV in a bar and about an old love and about falling apart
