lyrics

If my soul is something I spend when I drink
I must be damn nearly broke I think
How many one more chances does a person get
Before a glimmer of hope becomes a mountain of regret

Put down the gun, Jake
It's only a heartache
We all have to lie in the bed that we make
Don't do it for God's sake
It's a foolish mistake
Put down the gun, Jake
It's only a heartache

Well adultery's still a sin, just because it aint a crime
You shouldn't wind the watch if you can't do the time
It wasn't too long before you couldn't take the tickin'
I never said I was a Timex but I took a fuckin' wicked lickin'

Put down the bottle, Jake
It's only a heartache
We all have to lie in the bed that we make
Don't do it for God's sake
It's a foolish mistake
Put down the bottle, Jake
It's only a heartache

Well she moved in her boyfriend before the sheets got cold
They did it here and there, this way and that
And then outa there he rolled
But not before the little bastard stole my golf clubs...
(Golf's a stupid sport anyway...)
That's not the point!!

Put down the gun, Jake
It's only a heartache
We all have to lie in the bed that we make
Don't do it for God's sake
It's a foolish mistake
Put down the gun, Jake
It's only a heartache
