Oh, someone taught |
|
Your walls to talk |
|
But if they ask me, I ain't heard a thing |
|
Back to the wall |
|
Bat to the ball |
|
Back to the drawing board |

|
Again |
|
There was a snow storm in Jackson, |
|
When you and I met, |
|
At a club called Saint Sebastian's, |
|
But the sign said something different. |
|
I remember thinking that I didn't have a shot at Mississippi. |
|
Television told us which roads they were closing. |
|
"There goes the rap show." |
|
Everybody knew you as the wife of a famous man. |
|
Everybody who knew said, "There goes Dixon's girl again. |
|
Even the walls all lean closer, when she plays the piano real slow." |
|
Haven't met too many women in this business that I really like, |
|
But you could hold a little liquor, you could hold a conversation |
|
You could hold your own mic, and, |
|
Even that night, I learned the truth about your man: |
|
You've gotta be big to treat pretty girls bad. |
|
And it's not much, but my money's on you |
|
It's not much, but my money's on you |
|
It's not much, but my money |
|
Not much, but my money |
|
Not much, but my money |
|
My money's on you |
|
Well I heard from the rest of the world, you're in trouble. |
|
Bad news moves like fire that you fight on the phone. |
|
And I'm too far away, my well-wishing can't touch you, |
|
But I think of you still, more than you might suppose. |
|
Everybody wanna see you with your hair down, |
|
Wanna hear you hit the high note. |
|
Wanna know if they can get you for a little less, girl. |
|
I don't. I know, |
|
How the stones can fly, had some hard goodbyes. |
|
Call me up, day or night, free drinks and bad advice. |
|
And it's not much, but my money's on you |
|
It's not much, but my money's on you |
|
It's not much, but my money |
|
Not much, but my money |
|
Not much, but my money |
|
My money's on you |
|
Back to the wall |
|
Back to the bar |
|
Back to the drawing board |
|
[X3] |
|
And it's not much, but my money's on you. |
