Grain Of Salt
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.
Yeah when I came to you were standing by the foot of the bed,
I was still hung over, and my eyes were bloodshot and red,
Did you think that things were going to be different?
Did you think you tore my whole world apart?
But as you can see there's no pain in my head
And down in this old broken heart
[chorus]
I took your leaving with a grain of salt,
Tequila and a slice of lime,
Yeah the minute you left,
Me and the boys went out and had a real good time,
It's nice of you to check up on me,
Just to see how I was getting along
But I had already gotten over it baby,
Before you were even gone
By now you have observed
I was a little over-served last night,
I need to catch a few Z's
Baby please turn off that bedroom light,
See the boys are coming by to get me,
We're going to take our little show into town,
I'll need my rest cause they'll be doing there best
To find another (juke joint now?)
[chorus]
I took your leaving with a grain of salt,
Tequila and a slice of lime,
Yeah the minute you left,
Me and the boys went out and had a real good time,
It's nice of you to check up on me
Just to see how I was getting along,
But I had already gotten over it baby,
Before you were even gone
Yeah I had already gotten way over it baby,
Before you were even gone
Bye now
