Bad Taste in My Mouth
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The night's just getting longer
Oh, am I still lonely?
And the days are getting slower
Is this for some reason? I'm still lonely
[Chorus:]
Now that I've got everything I wanted
Still a bad taste in my mouth
Now I found all things that I wanted
Still a bad taste in my mouth
See I sent away my baby
I sent her packing on down the chain
So now she ain't my baby
Yeah, but I still love her all the same
[Chorus]
So take me down there in time and feed me liquor
I don't want to pain tonight
Where do I run to?
Where do I run to now that I've lost you?
[guitar solo]
[Chorus]
Still a bad taste in my mouth
Still a bad taste in my mouth
