Cautionary Chorus

Well, I told you that I think you’re an ass and brain lazy
and I told you that I’ve been on the creep
I drove you all the way to the big time baby
and I dropped you there in one fell sweep
And I’m grieving every night down out the bar now, honey
Drinking like I need it to breath
Sitting waiting for the feel of you behind me
heavy and smelling your whiskey sweet
Oh Lord, we can’t be wise
and in love at the same time

Now the boys behind the bar make me feel like a kitty
all talking up and over at me
But they got the nitty gritty from the dirt committee
Don’t give me no sympathy
And I go home every night feeling sorry, honey
Singing bastard poetry
Kindof howling at the moon like I’m lost and itty bitty
in a shitty that doesn’t sleep
Oh Lord, we can’t be wise
and in love at the same time

I sold my soul to the mercenary fortune telling lady
and the cards were screaming read em and weep
Said your love was temporary talkin real cautionary
It was more than I could take
And the truth is I was true don’t know why I lied to you
If there’s and ass around, well, that’d be me
Seems my heart let you in her and I got the nervous shivers
worked my brain into my feet
Oh no, we can’t be wise
and in love at the same time

"Coralee and the Townies are a Lexington, Kentucky based band of a genre they’ve self-defined as Honky Tonk Soul, and it’s a fitting description, as the sextet whoops and weeps with traditional authenticity and contemporary energy, with Coralee’s husky vocals front and center and the Townies providing a righteous, raucous rootenanny soundtrack around her." ~Brian Baker (CityBeat) ... more
