I remember back in high school
When we first fell in love
We were doing mathematics
We were doing d**
Then that September
You got married and left
I couldn't stop drinking
I couldn't catch my, I couldn't catch my breath
And now its been so long
And baby you got old
There's a cloud over you baby
You can't make it better
There's a cancer in your soul
And since the time we met I know
We've made some big mistakes
Now you've got one foot in the coffin
I've got both in my grave
And since we've been apart I can tell you I
I've been feeling unchained
Now you've got one foot in the coffin
I've got both in my grave
Meet me by the river
Where we don't go anymore
You bring wine and roses
I'll bring the old, the old .44
I didn't mind the way
You always put me down
I can forgive, but baby
You never came around, you never came around again
And since the time we met I know
I've made some big mistakes
I put my baby in the coffin
And I'll put you in the grave
Time is wasting
Won't you please die my baby
The signs are saying you ain't
Down, call me crazy
Down, down, you won't come around no more
