Well Katie was a black haired, green eyed, beauty
Something you'd see right from a movie
She was workin' down at the carry out on Main
She'd sell me cigarettes and pouch tobacco
Cold Coors light and a two dollar scratcher
Then throw me a look that'd drive a man insane
And a man can only take so much of this
Well sweet Jesus Katie, let me love ya baby
I'm tired of playin' all of these games with you
Throw me a bone or tell me get gone
Put a little red in this heart so blue
Or you can keep me running circles like this
And I'll keep on buying beer and cigarettes
Well I work all day in the hot summer sun
Waitin' on the boss to say that we're done
And I hop in the truck and head to Main Street
And I wait in line at the carry out
Make my way up to the counter
Where I get my fix for the fifth time this week
Lord what I'd do for just one kiss
Well sweet Jesus Katie, let me love ya baby
I'm tired of playin' all of these games with you
Throw me a bone or tell me get gone
Put a little red in this heart so blue
Or you can keep me running circles like this
And I'll keep on buying beer and cigarettes
Well Katie skipped town, yeah she got away
And I quit smoking the very next day
Didn't see the point in hurting like I do
And I still stop at the carry out
To see if she'll come right back around
And I like to think she'll pop right outta the blue
Well sweet Jesus Katie, let love ya baby
I wish you would have taken me with you
But your gettin' gone has cut me to the bone
Now this heart is all beat black and blue
Lord only knows how much I miss
Wastin' my money
On beer and cigarettes
