Adeline Lyrics

Adeline leaned against a table

Barely able to stand

Couple empty wine bottles

Lit cigarette in her hand

She said, "It's three A.M.

Do we have to talk right now?

Something tells me you ain't gonna put this down.

Yeah I've been turning to the wine more these days,

What you want me to say?"

Call me a banjo

Cause I don't mind getting played

As long as it's your fingers

Pulling the strings

If I was a liar, I would not tell the truth

Cause there ain't nothing left here for me and you

Adeline slammed the screen door

Sat out on the front porch

Sunrise rolling in

I should have let her cool down

But I'm a fool now

And I always play to win

I said, "Ain't it like you to make a man feel small

Do you love anything like tobacco and alcohol?

I know life ain't easy and you had it rough.

I had enough."

Call me a banjo

Cause I don't mind getting played

As long as it's your fingers

Pulling the strings

If I was a liar, I would not tell the truth

Cause there ain't nothing left here for me and you
