Alejandro Escovedo - Put You Down lyrics

Some people say the world's a strange and evil place And all the shadows fall across your face Because the world's a strange and evil place Then others say because the sun shines every day That we should live life come what may Because the sun shines every day But I gotta say That I just can't put you down And all the girls think I'm insane You know I can't put you down And my dad can't recall my name But I just can't put you down And my friends won't call back at all But I just can't put you down Some people say If you feed a dog a bloody bone He's your best friend for your life If you feed a dog a bloody bone Patch up your dreams With all the gold that falls at your feet Stick your finger in a dike All the gold falls at your feet And I want to say You know I just can't put you down And all the women think that I'm insane You know I just can't put you down And my Mom won't call back at all You know I just can't put you down I rub my wounds with alcohol You know I just can't put you down I just can't put you down There ain't a pill that'll cure that pain But I just can't put you down Some people say That money can buy anything All the d** to cure the pain Money can buy anything Then some people want All the sin and pleasure in this world They don't care about the price They pay for all the sin and pleasure in this world But I've gotta say You know I just can't put you down I don't care how far I fall You know I just can't put you down And I don't care if they call back at all I just can't put you down All the women can forget my name You know I just can't put you down You know I just can't put you down You know I just can't put you down You know I just can't put you down
