Pour me a cup of sadness
Dignified like a small-town Sherriff brandishing his gun
Sweet like a southern belle when her courtship has begun
Pour me a cup of sadness
Big and bold as country-state of Texas threatenin’ succession
Rich as daddy’s little girl come into great-granddaddy’s fortune
Pour me a cup of sadness
Dark as southern country night if not for bright star lights
Spicy like fresh jalapeno seeds in just a single bite
Pour me a cup of sadness
Smokey like the thing that remains long after you put out the fire
Harsh like stormin’ prairie wind and painful like barbed wire
