Saving Face (Early Version Of Roll The Bones)

[Verse 1]

Come 20 days when you get married

I'll go wanderin' away

I don't think I can save face honestly

Enough to make it through the day

She likes to dream that I'm still there but

[Chorus]

Baby I am homeless, damn I love the moments

That got me right outta town

Living with my family, damn I was so happy

Why did I leave that hollow ground

[Verse 2]

Go tell the father his daughters pregnant

Yeah shes gon' have a baby boy

He'll come out drinking, cussing and stinking

Yeah that's our little bundle of joy

[Chorus]

Cause' daddy can't forget all his enemies and debts

Yeah they chase him round and give him sour dreams

Like tied up to a tree all my family and me

Just keep running round' in circles that we've left

[Chorus]

Don't you run away if your boy he wants to stay

I know he loves me more than you ever could

Something bout' your taste is such a sad thing to waste

If I could bottle it, you know I surely would

[Verse 4]

Please ask the doctor to stop the pain

Yeah my time in this world has expired

Please ask the doctor to stop the pain

Yeah my time in this world has expired

My only bed is all made up I am ready to be cast into the fire

[Chorus]

So sell my belongings all my clever drawings

Try to make a dollar from the grave

Give flowers to my friends I'll be with them until the end

And then my memory will always remain

[Outro]

Ain't life sweet, ain't life sweet
