The Ballroom Thieves – Pocket Of Gold lyrics
[Verse 1]
She said "A war ain't a war before both sides bleed."
I got arms like rope and a belly like an old oak tree
I was looking for dry home that I could outgrow once the bed don't fit no more
[Verse 2]
I told my lover it's a long night hurry if you're running with me
And if the favor of her heart was caution then her eyes never pinned it to me
If every dollar I owned was all that she stole I could have sold my heart for a pocket of gold
[Chorus 1]
I could have been a well kept man but it isn't so
Ohh whoa
[Verse 3]
I need an untamed woman with a sharp tongue
Well go on son, go and try to get you one
One that says "Oh you should know
I'll haunt you like a goddamn ghost."
[Verse 4]
I said I never knew the moral but I guess that's how the story goes
My lover's never been a mirror in the hour that I needed it most
Spent all this time choking truth for lies when all the while it's hiding in a six foot hole
[Chorus 2]
I could have been a well kept man
You know I could have been a well kept man
I could have been a well kept man but it isn't so
Ohh whoa
She said "A war ain't a war before both sides bleed."
I got arms like rope and a belly like an old oak tree
I was looking for dry home that I could outgrow once the bed don't fit no more
[Verse 2]
I told my lover it's a long night hurry if you're running with me
And if the favor of her heart was caution then her eyes never pinned it to me
If every dollar I owned was all that she stole I could have sold my heart for a pocket of gold
[Chorus 1]
I could have been a well kept man but it isn't so
Ohh whoa
[Verse 3]
I need an untamed woman with a sharp tongue
Well go on son, go and try to get you one
One that says "Oh you should know
I'll haunt you like a goddamn ghost."
[Verse 4]
I said I never knew the moral but I guess that's how the story goes
My lover's never been a mirror in the hour that I needed it most
Spent all this time choking truth for lies when all the while it's hiding in a six foot hole
[Chorus 2]
I could have been a well kept man
You know I could have been a well kept man
I could have been a well kept man but it isn't so
Ohh whoa
