Second Time Around

Second time around you know it Really got me down Sister don't you judge it Keep it to yourself now If ya ain't got nothing good to say Don't say nothin' at all Got bitten by the bitter bug and I Just can't get enough Of ill will and my own conceit I'm weary of the world it seems I'm weary of the world Weary of the world it seems It's sort of always gone my way I'm just a little bit off these days Like I've had hard knocks all my life Like I'm a Bible belt wife Like I didn't see it coming Like I didn't walk in willingly See I never want to sing again La la la like a butterfly Without my wits about me Without my heart in line Third time's a charm This is mine [Harmonica feature] You said you just heard Loretta sing And you felt the loneliness seeping in Cowboys made you uneasy You're a God-fearing lesbian So you learn not to yearn And you take it on the chin again Here's what I find about compromise- Don't do it if it hurts inside Cause either way you're screwed And eventually you'll find That you may as well feel good You may as well have some pride [Interlude] Come August we'll go to Cherokee and Hear Loretta do her thing Pack it into the Indian casino and Make the hillbilly scene Kick up our heels And join in Are you my ally or my enemy? Do you have self-loathing or empathy? Can you keep me in your prayers, sister? Can you keep me in there somewhere? And sister, if you ain't go nothin' good to say Don't say nothin' at all
