Tile Work - Tim Barry

I walk straight now but with a sway

Please consider where I’ve been

I’m burning oxycotins now

Instead of heroin

Please consider where I’ve been

Please consider where I’ve been

I ain’t got nothing and I can’t have both

Please consider where I’ve been

When I was a young man and married man

I’d tell you don’t ever tie that knot

But now I’m old and my girl left home

I ain’t happy with what I got

Please consider where I’ve been

Please consider where I’ve been

I ain’t got nothing and I can’t have both

Please consider where I’ve been

I got a Cadillac appetite

And a chitling income true

And sure as shit, I’ll drink my fill

Before the evening’s through

Please consider where I’ve been

Please consider where I’ve been

I ain’t got nothing and I can’t have both

Please consider where I’ve been

Well, my girl got me like tile work

And laid me the first time right

So she could walk all over me

For the rest of her damn life

Please consider where I’ve been

Please consider where I’ve been

I ain’t got nothing and I can’t have both

Please consider where I’ve been
