"Saving Face (Early Version Of Roll The Bones)" lyrics - SHAKEY GRAVES

Come 20 days when you get married
I'll hold longer and wait
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

[Chorus:]
Baby I am homeless, damn I love the morning
Stag on me and right outta town
Living with my family, damn I was so happy
Why did I leave that hollow ground

Go tell the father his daughters pregnant
Yeah shes gon' have a baby boy
He'll come out drinking, cussing and stinking
Yeah that's our little bundle of joy

[Chorus:]
Cause' daddy can't forget all his enemies and debts
Yeah they chase him round and give him sour dreams
Like tied up to a tree all my family and me
Just keep running round' in circles that we've left

[Chorus:]
Don't you run away if your boy he wants to stay
I know he loves me more than you ever could
Something bout' your taste is such a sad thing to waste
It's like you bottle in, you know I surely would

Please ask the doctor to stop the pain
Am I tired of this world and this fire
Please ask the doctor to stop the pain
Am I tired of this world and this fire
My only bed is all made up I am ready to be cast into the fire

[Chorus:]
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 until the end
And then my memory will always remain

[Outro:]
Ain't life sweet, ain't life sweet
