Clark Ave.

[Verse 1] In the first row apartment on the corner of Clark Smokin' hot redhead in the parkin' lot Shakin' that thing, showin' everything she's got With a wink she said "We're drinkin' down at the dock" "So boy, you outta come" She said, "I know you're taken, but what's wrong with havin' fun?" [Verse 2] So we get to the bar about a quarter to ten And the guitar's screamin' and the band kicks in Sittin' in the corner nursin' tonic and gin Wearin' that dress, she's sexy as sin Good Lord, I need a drink With a body like that, hell, it gets so hard to think [Chorus] When I'm sober, I pray to Jesus When I'm drunk, that's when I talk to God Oh the Bible and the bottle both deceive us Into thinkin' we're somethin' we're not Into thinkin' we're somethin' we're not [Verse 3] Well the drinks kept pourin' and so did my lies And I'm sure she could see through my bourbon disguise Hand kept crawlin' up my thigh She said "I don't do this with most guys" Oh Lord, we all have a scene My heart was racin' like an engine and it's dancin' like a Harlem queen [Verse 4] Well the bar's shuttin' down and it's time to go Head to her place and turn the lights down low Headlights shoot through the front window She said "Quick! Run! Hide! My boyfriend's home!" Oh Lord, what have I done? I'm a-creepin' out the back and he's stormin' through the front [Chorus] When I'm sober, I pray to Jesus When I'm drunk, that's when I talk to God Oh the Bible and the bottle both deceive us Into thinkin' we're somethin' we're not Into thinkin' we're somethin' we're not
