"Some Rotten Man" lyrics
"Some Rotten Man"
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
