Sure As Shit

Choosing my words carefully Has never been my strength I've been known to be vague And often pointless But you sure as shit know me Better than anybody else And for that in my heart I am hopeful So I helped you pack your bags And I folded up your snap shirts When you come back It will already be the winter If you look at other girls Working out in the nighttime I don't mind but I don't want to know it And these years that I have known you It's gone and blurred my sense of time Now I can hardly even recall What came before this Letters left on pillows Messages left on phones Postcards in the mail When we sent them Cobwebs all collected Paintings on the walls Lounging around all day In a hot pink chenille housecoat And the secrets that I whispered In your ear while you were sleeping You can call to mind when you're Out in the world without me Oh the denim king I sure as shit do love you And I cuss because I mean it And for that in my heart I am hopeful And these words that I chose I was so careful --- Sure as Shit - Kathleen Edwards
