Well, your friends come by for you
I don't know what to say
Well, your friends come by for you
I don't know what to say
I just can't face up to tell 'em
Honey, you just went away.
The children cry for mother
I tell 'em, "Mother took a trip.''
Children cry for mother
I tell 'em, "Mother took a trip.''
Well, I walk on pins and needles
I hope my tongue don't slip.
I gaze at passing strangers
In case I might see you
Well, I gaze at passing strangers
In case I might see you
But the sun goes around the heavens
Another day just drives on through.
Way out in the distance
I know you're with some other man
Way out in the distance
I know you're with some other man
But that's all right, baby
You know I always will understand.
Call girls in the doorway
All givin' me the eye
Call girls in the doorway
All give me the eye
But my heart's just not in it
I might as well pass right on by.
My ears are ringin'
Ringin' like empty shells
My ears are ringin'
Ringin' like empty shells
Well, it can't be no guitar player
It must be combat bells.
