Running Out Of Roses

(アルバム： Hearts Don't Rust - 2022)

Sometimes I work too late
Forget to call on my break
Didn't take the trash to the road
By now I should know
Every which way that woman thinks

Didn't take the pen out of my pocket
Last time I did the washing
I stained her favorite going out dress
It was a hell of a mess
Lord, I wonder this time what'll cost me

I know I might drive her crazy
Ain't got but one solution
She's running flat out of patience
And I'm running out of excuses
Yeah, any time I cross the line
Cost me $12.99
Now I'm running on out to smooth it
Over the hill, that Kroger sign is glowing
Might run out of luck, but one thing I know is
I ain't running out of roses

It takes a $2 vase
Past few weeks, I've bought a case
I throw the wrapper on the floor board
Cut the stems a little shorter
With a card that says "I'm sorry"
Signed, "The man you love to hate"

I know I might drive her crazy
Ain't got but one solution
She's running flat out of patience
And I'm running out of excuses
Yeah, any time I cross the line
Cost me $12.99
Now I'm running on out to smooth it
Over the hill, that Kroger sign is glowing
Might run out of luck, but one thing I know is
I ain't running out of roses

Alright now, here's how it goes

They know my name when I walk in
Say, "Hey BD, you back again
We keep the good stash in the back
You won't find these out on the rack"
"Them rosie reds are beautiful
Hey Joe, give me my usual"

Well, I know I might drive her crazy
Ain't got but one solution
She's running flat out of patience (Yes, she is)
And I'm all out of excuses
Yeah, any time I cross the line
Cost me $12.99
Now I'm running on out to smooth it
Over the hill, that Kroger sign is glowing
Might run out of luck, but one thing I know is
I ain't running out of roses
No, I ain't running out of roses

Hey baby, what in the world are all these Kroger charges?
They mean, I'm gonna be right back
