There are cobwebs on the ceiling fan And the lonely 40 watt flickers when the train goes by Take out boxes near the garbage can And the leaning tower of dishes is getting 3 feet high I can't stand waiting to hear your boots at my door I can't stand wondering if you're out with that whore I can't stand, I drank an ocean of liquor in your undertow The faucet keeps dripping like a cannonball And I threw my guitar in the fire when I ran out of Duraflames The phone kept ringing right off the wall But it never was you, so I ripped it out the socket And then I cursed your name The sun's been gone for 7 days And you been gone for 9 The Tennessee river's just a block away I could jump in at anytime I can't stand waiting to hear your boots at my door I can't stand wondering if you're out with that whore I can't stand, I drank an ocean of liquor in your undertow I shuffle around like a mental patient In my robe and my bedroom shoes Flipping channels from my sleeping bag And dining on a box of Fruit Loops I can't stand waiting to hear your boots at my door I can't stand wondering if you're out with that whore I can't stand wishing that I had never been born No, I can't stand, I drank an ocean of liquor in your undertow
