well you know promises
promises are just words to cling to
that sometimes, they all fall through
and crash and burn
but darling, i've some words
to share with you

big ego came in here this morning
holding his hat and his cane
he was just here for some personal gain
it wasn't as he was here without warning
and you know, there was no answer really given

the blues was on the news when
the clock stuck me hard at eleven
it shocked me, shocked me right back
to blessed reality, but when i got there
i just found this delirious melody

about little ms. passport at the reception
wearing the dress that she made and
it wasn't until nepoleon did mention it
that she heard about the border raids

you know ramona the one
who drove clear through texas
with her top down and a bow
in her hair, a shotgun blast
and lipstick smile, she drove
for thousands of dead ass miles

if you ever want to go, y'know
i'd let you, just like a silver bird
i would set you free
but, those promises i made,
it would break me to break
them like my father did
