lyrics

White Trash Romance The man said Woman are you for real? You’re as twisted as the busted old buckle on my favorite belt you know the one that got stuck in the tractor last year and you’re lucky that it didn’t bust off something else she said Man I wish it did you’re always pokin’ me thinkin’ like I’m some kind of voodoo doll goddamn I got a little more class than you look at them holes in your overalls and the man said Maybe it’s time you learned how to sew the woman said Maybe it’s time that you learned to look after your own clothes ‘cause baby don’t you wanna look good for those pretty girls? Yea I heard about you stoppin’ in them dirty bars if your own woman ain’t enough you’re probably gonna wanna stop and think about it long and hard and the man said Baby you know it is and he smiled the woman said Jesus Christ oh you and your dirty mind the man said Baby you ain’t leavin’ so stop sayin’ like you are, and I guess we could be better but it isn’t all my fault so take your pretty little suitcase and bring it on upstairs when you’re finished with unpackin’ I’mma show you how I care she turned around to take a swing but he caught her halfway there she said Man me and my suitcase are gonna get us some fresh air he said Run on to your mama like you always do I’ll be by to pick you up in an hour or two and don’t you get too much unpackin’ done ‘cause you know you and your mama gonna fight like dogs before long she said Man don’t wind me up I ain’t kiddin’ with you I don’t need no more of your mouth and I don’t need the rest of you too don’t even kiss me goodbye I don’t wanna see you cry I mean what I said and I’m gone and don’t stand here waitin’ ‘cause I ain’t comin’ back I’m through with you then a big black truck pulled up layered with a brand new coat of dust there was a man with a hat and the windows were black out-of-state plates and a hitch on the back and she picked up her suitcase and jumped inside didn’t even turn around to say goodbye so the man went and put on his going-out clothe wiped his face with a rag hit his head with a comb took a walk to the closest bar up the road sat down with a woman with a long red coat they talked for a while about the weather and the beer she showed him a tattoo she had on her ankle: a little red bird on a little green tree, her ankles were thin and her skin was pale pink he said Hey pretty baby! I been lookin’ for you I got half an empty bed I been lookin’ to fill I got two big closets one is for you I got good hot water and air conditioning too so she took his arm and they left and it all started over again

Karen Jonas Fredericksburg, Virginia

The Restless (3.3) is “a stunning collection of dreamy and dark alt-country confessionals; a deep exploration of love and vulnerability from one of Americana’s most hopeless romantics” (Holler.Country). As Parklife Mag DC put it, “the voice of country music in the DMV is a big, bright voice that belongs to Virginia native Karen Jonas.” ... more
