Ex Debutante - Kentucky Mule Lyrics

Last night I was kicking
Like the Kentucky Mule in my cup
I was down when we rolled in
And I didn't think I'd cheer up

This bourbon's got me hazy
These are the words I should swallow
I'll leave them here in Albuquerque
And try to be better tomorrow

I tried to leave you in New York
I thought by Tennessee you'd want me
But with each state line I cross
You're not in my inbox
Baby why do you haunt me
Baby why do you haunt me
Baby why do you haunt me
Baby why do you haunt me

Morning came and I remembered
I made sure your number was gone
Because I know if I have it
I won't be moving on

I'll have to find a high
In the high desert
A nicotine and red wine fuzz
Is as close as I can get

I swear I left you in New Mexico
I hope by California you'll want me
But with each state line I cross
You're not in my inbox
Baby why do you haunt me
Baby why do you haunt me
Baby why do you haunt me
Baby why do you haunt me

When you branded my neck I didn't think
I'd be downing as strong a drink
As a Kentucky Mule
