Movie Star - Swearin'

Tawdry slur

You’ll mutter

She’ll hear you

You’ll argue

You’ve got her records in the basement

You’ve got half a case left

You say that I remind you of a movie star

No one likes you when you’re as old as we are

And you were barefoot on Magnolia Avenue

The day I met you

Bleary-eyed, without permission

You work out your own rendition

Of your contingency in three acts:

Tennessee River, a drunken relapse

And her new girlfriend, she’s got a new girlfriend now

You say that I remind you of a movie star

No one likes you when you’re as old as we are

And you were barefoot on Magnolia Avenue

The day I met you

You and me don’t earn much pay

But you and me got enough to get away

If we want to

You and me don’t earn much pay

But you and me got enough to get away

To get away

To get away
