Shoulda Oughta
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.
Well, it's hot as two Julys and I'm cold as ten Decembers
What I'm doing here, man, I can't remember
Don't you know?
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, don't you know?
First time I ran away I was about ten
It solved nothing, I've been running since then
Don't you know?
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, don't you know?
Well, I asked her to marry and she said "No!"
I lived happily ever after, don't you know?
Don't you know?
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, don't you know?
Now the only place to drink in this town is the bar at the hotel
And if you ain't from around here they'll tell you go straight to hell
Don't you know?
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, don't you know?
Now it's hot as two Julys and I'm cold as ten Decembers
What I'm doing here, man, I can't remember
Don't you know?
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, don't you know?
Lordy, Lordy, Lordy, don't you know?
