Handimart Promise Lyrics

I've got the small town blues

I read the weekly news

I wake up in the morning

I slip my feet into these ice cold shoes

I'd like to take a nap

A three hour snooze

Can't deal with all this crap

I'd rather take a Caribbean cruise

There are a thousand thoughts

Trying to blow up my head

My stomach's tied in knots

Because it's underfed

Though it gets black and cold

When the night caves in

I've got a heart of gold

And a ten cent pen

And if I saw you at the Handi-Mart driving your Mercedes

I'd whisper to myself

She's just like all the other ladies

And you could ask me

Hey, what are you doing from now until who knows when

And I'd say

I'm not lonely enough to start loving you again

Yes, you could ask me

Hey Johnny

What are you doing from now until who knows when

And I'd say

Life doesn't suck enough to start loving you again

I've got the small town blues

I write a country song

The kind that leaves a bruise

If you sit there and you write it too long

I drive a beat up car

I rent a worn out house

I end up at a bar

Talking to a cook named mouse

We're shooting pocket pool

At a dime a ball

He thinks I'm someone's fool

And then I run them all

Tomorrows come and go

The future isn't clear

I shovel ice and snow

And drink generic beer.

And if I saw you at the Handi-Mart driving your Mercedes

I'd whisper to myself

She's just like all the other ladies

And you could ask me

Hey, what are you doing from now until who knows when

And I'd say

I'm not lonely enough to start loving you again

Yes, you could ask me

Hey Johnny

What are you doing from now until who knows when

And I'd say

Life doesn't suck enough to start loving you again

I've got the small town blues

I read the weekly news

I wake up in the morning

I slip my feet into these ice cold shoes

I'd like to take a nap

A three hour snooze

Can't deal with all this crap

And if I saw you at the Handi-Mart driving your Mercedes

I'd whisper to myself

She's just like all the other ladies

And you could ask me

Hey, what are you doing from now until who knows when

And I'd say

I'm not lonely enough to be loving you again

Yes, you could ask me

Hey Johnny

What are you doing from now until who knows when

And I'd say

Life doesn't suck enough to start loving you again

And you could ask me

Hey, what are you doing from now until who knows when

And I'd say

I'm not lonely enough to be loving you again
