The beach is too hot and the mountains too cold And I'm gettin' too damn old To be runnin' like I used to be The plane's too high and the car's too slow To get me where I need to go And all I'm after is her memory I bought a house with a big backyard Fancy clothes and a brand-new car When she left, she took everything she pleased Let me tell you, she wanted everything but me What I need is some inspiration A fifth of booze and a destination Something to put my mind at ease If I wasn't off my medication I wouldn't be here in desperation But I'm down here beggin' on my knees Bought a house with a big backyard Fancy clothes and a brand-new car When she left, she took everything she pleased Let me tell you, she wanted everything but me Well, this next part goes out to her new man You can give her the stars and hang her the Moon But the Sun's what makes the flowers bloom You reap what you sow and you sow what you reap I know you can't trust her, so you can't sleep But don't get nice, she'll kick you out That's the way love goes, no doubt 'Cause I done tried everything Hell, I even bought a house with a big backyard Fancy clothes and a brand-new car When she left, she took everything she pleased Let me tell you, she wanted everything but me Oh, let me tell you, she wanted everything but me
