Some Rotten Man Lyrics

They stuck you in the dirt while I was still away
But nobody had the decency to tell me about it anyways.
Well, I guess it's for the best that they laid you down to rest
without some wreck like me to ruin things and turn into a mess.
But I remember when we ran away and the car we stole broke down
along some dusty highway with nobody else around.
So we hitched a ride to Reno, but the ring I got you wouldn't fit.
And the minister got drunk before, and we laughed 'til we got sick.
And of course, I know you could have done much better, and I
know that I must have been your bad habit.
Some rotten man. Nobody's savior. Your oldest friend.
I haven't slept the same since you been gone,
And when I do sleep, the nightmares come.
This hell I live in hasn't been the same without you here.
Our daughter still won't speak to me. My letters aren't returned at all.
I can't believe the mess I've made of everybody's lives.
And of course, I know you could have done much better
And I know that I must have been a real fucking nightmare.
Some rotten man. Nobody's savior. Your oldest friend.
