She’s drinkin' tea
and leavin' me
for some damn hippie
down on Dickson.
While I sit here and cry
in my last lonely beer,
it’s all gloom despair and agony on me.
So why’d she go
and leave me like she did?
Knowing everything she knows
about the crops and the kids.
She knows I can’t get away
to go and chase her down.
So she spends her day
running all over town.
She’s drinkin tea
and leavin me
for some damn hippie
down on Dickson.
While I sit here and cry
in my last lonely beer,
it’s all gloom despair and agony on me.
I don’t feel at home
when I’m in the city.
These guitars and Cadillacs
that ain’t the life for me.
I know this old farmhouse
it don’t look too pretty,
but it’s the only thing
that’s all I know you see.
She’s drinkin tea
and leavin me
for some damn hippie
down on Dickson.
While I sit here and cry
in my last lonely beer.
It’s all gloom despair and agony on me.

Lyrics by Nathan Miller
This is a wonderful album. It is personal, senitive, and caring. I love to here Sturgill sing, and wish had found him earlier. I thsnk wnku for playing local artists. I lived in Jackson Ky. And know how sad the drugs have made so many hometowns. Keep singing you are great. carolfaulkner
