The Thing I Can't Erase - Mojo Juju

Underneath that Stetson hat

Beside the bed, yeah under that

There is a letter I addressed

To that woman, I undressed her

Every night and every day

I wanted her so many ways

And now I’ve gone and done a thing

That I cannot erase

Now she’s gonna have to read it

If only I could just delete it

Take it back, oh god, undo it

She’ll find to many ways to misconstrue it

But truths are truths and I can’t lie

'Cause that’s no way to live a life

And now I have to tell her things

That I cannot erase

Down at The Cross

Out in the street

I shot somebody

She loved more than me

I saw red and now he’s dead

And I must flee

Oh, I never meant to hurt you

Take your love and desert you

Baby, I was always kind

But that don’t mean that I was blind

See I knew you’d been untrue

I guess that just makes me a fool

For the mess we were in

I could not walk away

So I took me to the Fifty-Fifty

Drank myself into a beast

He came in all looking shifty

Knew exactly where he’d been

If he weren’t so goddamn polite

He’d have probably made it through the night

But I’d already half a mind to put him in his place

It started as a conversation

I would not want overheard

And so I asked if he would join me

Outside for a quiet word

And when I had him all alone

How strangely I was overcome

I swear I did not mean to do

The thing that I have done

Down at The Cross

Out in the street

I shot somebody

She loved more than me

I saw red and now he’s dead

And I must flee

So, underneath that Stetson hat

Beside the bed, yeah under that

There is a letter I addressed

But darlin' words cannot express

Oh, every night and every day

I try to find the words to say

And so I never wrote it down

That I cannot erase

Down at The Cross

Out in the street

I shot somebody

She loved more than me

I saw red and now he’s dead

And I must flee
