Make Up My Mind
Music: Lyndon Heart
Lyrics: Salome Strangelove
Ninety-nine degrees and nothing but sun
There’s never a rainy day around when you need one
I drove all the way to work just to drive back home
Call in sick and sleep ’til dusk
And you ain’t made a damn thing easy
Since you ran that light on 41st and Q
That cab and chassis’ve never been the same, no
And it’s clear you made a wreck of this man, too
We’re both too old to start t’slingin’ ultimatums
Like life handed us a choice
You’ve got those bedroom eyes and legs that stretch to Sunday
All I got’s this guitar and what passes for a voice
So pour up somethin’ dark and strong
And then I’ll drink it ’til I’m half-past blind
Maybe I’ll forget why I came in here
We’ll go home and you can make up my mind
Slammin’ back a shot of Thursday comin’ on slow
Chasin’ off that ol’ Friday night quid-pro-quo
Sure, I can sit here and take it like I ain’t never been took
Just keep payin’ on that old tab I never owed
But I ain’t had one single moment’s peace
Since you spent a night that’s gone on three years long
You’ve busted bits of me’ll never fit the way they came
And sometimes a man can only be so strong
We’re both too old for just a-spinning out the wheels
Like life’s handed us the keys
You got those clever lies and lips that sell them sweetly
All I got’s this old barroom and its suicide squeeze
So pour up somethin’ dark and strong
And then I’ll drink it ’til I’m half-past blind
Maybe I’ll forget why I came in here
We’ll go home and you can make up my mind
Yeah, an’ even though I sit here most nights
Blamin’ the weather and the throttle
The truth is you’re my poison
And the only antidote can save me
Is the worm here a-dancin’ in the bottle
So pour up somethin’ dark and strong
And then I’ll drink it ’til I’m half-past blind
Maybe I’ll forget why I came in here
We’ll go home and you can make up my mind
