I feel the blood caking like syrup
Mudslide in my vein
Another tired racehorse without a stirrup and a mane
Give me one last hangover before it’s closing time
Don’t look for any teeth no more…
just pour a bucket of your best wine
Lay the whip upon another back of a young buck who needs taming
If you think I’m lying again…
It’s been my fate to tell the truth at the wrong moment

I used to be wanted by women
Used to be loved and forgiven
Used to be wanted by women
Used to be wanted but not by you…
Wanted by women
Used to be loved and forgiven
used to be wanted by women
used to be haunted all day by you

There’s a path I discovered after cutting all the reins
Leading somewhere peaceful, safe and warm
to watch the sun go down again
Chewing on a four leaf clover bet my last lucky dime
After all it’s just make believe riding high ‘gainst a nick of time
So you can sing me one last lullaby
Make me believe that I’m dreaming
I hang my head and I regret
that I’ll never get to see the sparkle in your eyes again

I used to be wanted by women
Used to be loved and forgiven
Used to be wanted by women
Used to be wanted but not by you…
Wanted by women
Used to be loved and forgiven
used to be wanted by women
used to be haunted all day by you
