Telling a Story

Girl you treat me bad and dont give it a second thought.
Run around on me with every other man.
look so fine with new clothes for you I bought.

You just say there friends larry Frank  Corey.
You say  it's all in my head.
But I know your telling me a story.

He's got money  he's gotta fancy car.
But when thoose looks fade darlin.
Thoose boy's wont even remember who you are.

I guess im a fool some call me your clown.
Cause every other night I'm sharing you with every man in this 
town.

I crumble at the tales of others backseat glory.
You just  say it's lies .
But your just telling a story.

Down at the bar where I drown my pain
Others laugh behind my back.
Say that old boy has gone insane.

The fool to weak to see the forrest for the trees.
A broken heart tired from always wondering .
A voice  gone hoarse from always begging please.

You played to long with a man named Rick.
But forgot about his wife lorrie.
She shot ya both.
And put the final chapter to your  tellin of a jaded story.
