The Hold Steady - Beer on the Bedstand lyrics
[The Hold Steady - Beer on the Bedstand lyrics]
There's a Mexican beer on the bedstand
He drinks slowly in the dark
There's a girl coming down from the Southside
He's going to meet her up in Painter's Park
Hallelujah keeps her distance
He's too rough when he's all the way up
But no one's holding anything and she
Saw him on the bus
He brought back all the jewelry but
He's still not with the girl
She panhandles up on Hennepin Ave
Outside of the Suburban World
St theresa, reveal yourself
I know that you'rе listening in
You told me what to do beforе
And I need your help again
He's flipping cards in a basement bar
He's got something sweet in his socks
The law's long arm don't reach down here
And they've covered up the clocks
Mother Mary, please, have mercy
I'm trying to figure something out
'Cause, I'm strung out in Minneapolis and
They're expecting me down South
Mother Mary, please, forgive me
I wish with all my heart that Memphis
And Minneapolis weren't so far apart
I wish Memphis and Minneapolis weren't
So damn far apart
He drinks slowly in the dark
There's a girl coming down from the Southside
He's going to meet her up in Painter's Park
Hallelujah keeps her distance
He's too rough when he's all the way up
But no one's holding anything and she
Saw him on the bus
He brought back all the jewelry but
He's still not with the girl
She panhandles up on Hennepin Ave
Outside of the Suburban World
St theresa, reveal yourself
I know that you'rе listening in
You told me what to do beforе
And I need your help again
He's flipping cards in a basement bar
He's got something sweet in his socks
The law's long arm don't reach down here
And they've covered up the clocks
Mother Mary, please, have mercy
I'm trying to figure something out
'Cause, I'm strung out in Minneapolis and
They're expecting me down South
Mother Mary, please, forgive me
I wish with all my heart that Memphis
And Minneapolis weren't so far apart
I wish Memphis and Minneapolis weren't
So damn far apart
