So I know that this song isn't new or anything but I heard an acoustic version of it the other day by Randy Rogers and so it got me thinkin about how great this song is. It's written and performed by Ryan Adams and it's pretty great. As big of a Texas Country fan as I am I still find that the Ryan Adams version is much better. Here are the lyrics (sorry for the language but it happens)....
When they call your name
Will you walk right up
With a smile on your face
Or will you cower in fear
In your favorite sweater
With an old love letter
I wish you would
I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
Theyre all full of shit
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would
When youre walking downtown
Do you wish I was there
Do you wish it was me
With the windows clear and the mannequins eyes
Do they all look like mine
You know you could
I wish you would
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends behind my back
With a smile on your face
And then do it again
I wish you would
I wish youd make up my bed
So I could make up my mind
Try it for sleeping instead
Maybe youll rest sometime
I wish I could
I just really, really like this song and have recently started to branch out to listening to the messages behind the music in a lot of songs like this. No idea why I felt like sharing this song but I did. Below is a video of him performing the song live on the David Letterman Show. Its pretty awesome just to listen to the angst and pain behind the song so check it out and I hope you enjoy it. Dueces!
