Last night I left the kitchen singing Folsom Prison Blues
I’d been up doing the dishes drinking whiskey like we used to
You were Johnny I was June, we’d fix it all with a tune
I was a fool for thinking this would be that easy
Baby I’m still learning how to lose you
Like the kickback from a smoking gun it takes some getting used to
And I can’t unpull the trigger, I can’t make you call
And these ghost I treat like lovers ain’t been helping me at all
I stay up all night for fear of talking in my sleep
Cause if I dream about your memory, I’ll just beg you not to leave
And the mornings don’t bring mercy, not like you could do
When I would only ever brave the day by waking up with you
Cause baby I’m still learning how to lose you
Like the kickback from a smoking gun it takes some getting used to
And I can’t unpull the trigger, I can’t make you call
And these ghost I treat like lovers ain’t been helping me at all
Now I’m months from where I started but no further down the road
They said find yourself a new man, I’m just doing what I’m told
But he’s the dreads down in my coffee, he’s settled and he’s cold
Yeah he gets me out of bed but man, it taste like getting old
Baby I’m still learning how to lose you
Like the kickback from a smoking gun it takes some getting used to
And I can’t unpull the trigger, I can’t make you call
And these ghost I treat like lovers ain’t been helping me at all
Baby I’m still learning how to lose you
Baby I’m still learning how to lose you
Baby I’m still learning how to lose you
Baby I’m still learning how to lose you
