Clark Ave.

(专辑： The Bible & The Bottle - 2008)

In the first row apartment on the corner of Clark
Smoking hot redhead in the parking lot
Shaking that thing, showing everything she's got
With a wink she said "We're drinking down at the dock"

"So boy, you outta come"
She said, "I know you're taken, but what's wrong with having fun?"

So we get to the bar about a quarter to ten
And the guitar's screaming and the band kicks in
Sitting in the corner nursing tonic and gin
Wearing that dress, she's sexy as sin

Good Lord, I need a drink
With a body like that, hell, it gets so hard to think

When I'm sober, I pray to Jesus
When I'm drunk, that's when I talk to God
Oh the Bible and the bottle both deceive us
Into thinking we're something we're not
Into thinking we're something we're not

Well the drinks kept pouring and so did my lies
And I'm sure she could see through my bourbon disguise
Hand kept crawling up my thigh
She said "I don't do this with most guys"

Oh Lord, we all have a scene
My heart was racing like an engine and it's dancing like a Harlem queen

Well the bar's shutting down and it's time to go
Head to her place and turn the lights down low
Headlights shoot through the front window
She said "Quick! Run! Hide! My boyfriend's home!"

Oh Lord, what have I done?
I'm a-creeping out the back and he's storming through the front

When I'm sober, I pray to Jesus
When I'm drunk, that's when I talk to God
Oh the Bible and the bottle both deceive us
Into thinking we're something we're not
Into thinking we're something we're not
