lyrics

Think I'll go to Colorado
Got no skin left in this game
You get a line and I'll get a pole
You get the car and I'll dig the hole

See I known you
'Fore I known who you are
You come back like a tack in the eye
You used to act like I was a movie star
And I used to act like I was your guy

Love is blacker than the singer sings
A disabled orphan girl
Left here scratchin' at the back door
Nobody wants her anymore

Stay down
Stay down

I ain't the worst man you've ever known
But I'd be willin' to make a bet
That every devil here ain't born full grown
And we ain't met all of 'em yet

Stay Down
Stay Down

I got a flair for fuckin' up a plan
I'll grow my hair when I get old
I never wanted to become a man
But it'll take blood to get the gold

Love is blacker than the singer sings
A disabled orphan girl
Left here scratchin' at the back door
Nobody wants her anymore

Stay Down
Stay Down
Stay Down
