Gas Station Flowers

Lyrics

[Chorus] I'll take you drunk, I'll take you stoned I'll take you back, long as you come home I'd rather go through hell than let you go 'Cause those gas station flowers are better than bein' alone [Verse 1] Quik Stop sack in your left hand, Lucky Strikes hot on your breath A scratch off ticket and a sixteen ounce High Life can Bet you saw them in the checkout line, carnations: $3.99 A cellophane-wrapped afterthought, but, hey, that's fine, at least they're mine [Chorus] I'll take you drunk, I'll take you stoned I'll take you back, long as you come home I'd rather go through hell than let you go 'Cause those gas station flowers are better than bein' alone [Verse 2] They'll only last a couple days, just like the promises you break But when we're makin' love, it makes the bad times seem okay You bring your demons home at night, they're sittin' pretty in a pipe But am I any better when I'm sleepin' next to mine? [Chorus] 'Cause I'll take you drunk, I'll take you stoned I'll take you back, long as you come home I'd rather go through hell than let you go Those gas station flowers are better than bein' alone Bein' alone [Bridge] I could hide your shoes, I could hide your keys But I know that you'll always find a way to leave I'll be the welcome mat you need To wipe all that bullshit off your feet I know it's sick, I know it's weak But it's been too long, I'm in too deep You'll probably be the death of you And you'll be the death of me [Chorus] 'Cause I'll take you drunk, I'll take you stoned I'll take you back, long as you come home I'd rather go through hell than let you go 'Cause those gas station flowers are better than bein' alone Bein' alone [Outro] Bein' alone
