Killing Time

I need your confidence
Need to know you're mine
When it gets right down
To the killing time
I know you're heart is bad
But it's all i've ever had
We can live our lives
On this righteous crime
I got kicked when i was down
And a sailor took my girl to town
Then she licked my wounds
With the sea dog's salt
I drank half a bottle of jack
Swore i'd never take you back
By the bottle's end
I was on that phone
What you call compromise
I don't understand
What you call compromise
I don't understand
How do you walk away
How do you walk away
How do you walk away from a woman
That gone and done you wrong?
