The Taxpayers - Some Rotten Man lyrics
[The Taxpayers - Some Rotten Man lyrics]
They stuck you in the dirt
While i was still away
Nobody had the decency to tell
Me about it anyways
Well, I guess it's for the best
They laid you down to rest
Without some wreck like me to ruin
Things and turn into a mess
I remember when we ran away and
The car we stole broke down
Along some dusty desert highway
With nobody else around
And so we hitched a ride to Reno
But the ring I got you wouldn't fit
And the minister got drunk before we
Laughed 'til we got sick
And of course
I know you could have done much better
And I know that I must
Have been your bad habit
Some rotten man nobody's savior
Your oldest friend
I haven't slept the same
Since you've been gone
And when I do sleep, the nightmares come
This hell I live in hasn't been
The same without you here
Our daughter still won't speak to me
My letters aren't returned at all
I can't believe the mess I've made of things
And of course
I know you could have done much better
And I know that I must have
Been a real fucking nightmare
Some rotten man nobody's savior
Your oldest friend
While i was still away
Nobody had the decency to tell
Me about it anyways
Well, I guess it's for the best
They laid you down to rest
Without some wreck like me to ruin
Things and turn into a mess
I remember when we ran away and
The car we stole broke down
Along some dusty desert highway
With nobody else around
And so we hitched a ride to Reno
But the ring I got you wouldn't fit
And the minister got drunk before we
Laughed 'til we got sick
And of course
I know you could have done much better
And I know that I must
Have been your bad habit
Some rotten man nobody's savior
Your oldest friend
I haven't slept the same
Since you've been gone
And when I do sleep, the nightmares come
This hell I live in hasn't been
The same without you here
Our daughter still won't speak to me
My letters aren't returned at all
I can't believe the mess I've made of things
And of course
I know you could have done much better
And I know that I must have
Been a real fucking nightmare
Some rotten man nobody's savior
Your oldest friend
