Well i'm a sinner, and you're a saint

baby i love your new coat of paint

so i'll keep on singing till these blues turn to gold

....

i'll test the poison, i'll break the law

write your name on a highway wall

they say the higher you go, the better you are

but the harder you'll hit when you fall

baby i can't go running on empty

you take the red from the rose

all i've got is what you've left me

now a dollar saved is a dollar lost

look at what all these feelings cost

i'm down on a dime, wasting my time

and i can't seem to find words i've lost

so ring around the rosey babe

you might think that you've got it made

but everyone knows, you keep changing your clothes

there's a bill that will never be paid

and baby i can't go running on empty

you take the red from the rose

hide that picture, man it always tempts me
