didn't know any other way to say it that day...

lyrics

POOR & HORNY

I went down to my show that night
I was 10 days on the road
It didn't go the way I planned
At least not the way that I hoped

But she came in at a quarter till 10
And I swear she never heard the 1st note
But she lifted my spirits till I realized again
I was 2,000 miles from home

Chorus:
When your poor and horny
And you ain't got nuthin' to lose
You can't buy a piece of ass
Not a sandwhich or a bottle of booze
When your poor and horny
You're just screwed

It's just the Midwest 13 hours at best
In my little ole silver van
There's a girl out there with the long brown hair
But she just don't understand

Was a little club downtown but it's all closed down now
That's why she don't see her guitar man
But now my cards are maxed out and I'm feeling no doubt
It's gonna cramp my Cornhusker romance

Chorus

I get letters from a girl abroad
She seals them with a red lipstick kiss and a hint of her perfume
Ten pages long and pictures that are only
For my eyes to view

I ain't got the bread but still she questions what I said
She questions my desire but man it's the truth
The flesh is willing and man it's really killing me
That I can't get there too soon

Chorus
