Lyrics: I've got a woman, she's wild as Rome She likes to lay naked and be gazed upon She crosses a bridge and sets it on fire And then lands like a bird on a telephone wire Wine bottles scattered like last night's clothes Cigarettes and papers and dominoes She laughs for a minute 'bout the shape I'm in She says, "You be the sinner, honey, I'll be the sin" I'm gonna holler, and I'm gonna scream I'm gonna get me some mescaline She brings me roses and a place to lean A drunken poet's dream I believe, my harp has got a busted reef Oh, my lips are chapped and about to bleed And she tastes like pills and cheap cologne She tells me I don't ever have to drink alone There's some money on the table and a pistol on the floor A few paperback books of Louis L'Amour She says, "Honey, don't worry 'bout Judgement Day Ain't goin' to heaven, just stay in our way I'm gonna holler, and I'm gonna scream I'm gonna get me some mescaline She brings me roses and a place to lean A drunken poet's dream I've got a woman, she's wild as Rome She likes to lay naked and be gazed upon She crosses a bridge, then sets it on fire And then lands like a bird on a telephone wire I'm gonna holler, and I'm gonna scream I'm a-gonna get me some mescaline She brings me roses and a place to lean I'm gonna holler, and I'm gonna scream I'm gonna get me some mescaline She brings me roses and a place to lean A drunken poet's dream Ray, thank you so much, man For soming out handy and doin' this with me, appreciate it Just make sure that check isn't post edit like last time I know it, at your age is not easy to do anything, so thank you It means a lot (that don't mean much to me) Thanks for taking me on tour that one time Well, I just needed someone to carry my amp upstairs I guess it was a tour, you didn't reall let me get on stage But I carried all the gear (I just said that) A good life experience, so thank you You're more than welcome Do it again, not really I've learned my lesson
