Tom Brosseau - Axe & Stump lyrics

Before I met you I didn't know much Yes, I could kiss Yes, I could touch Yes, I could recite certain lines of poetry Ah, look at me now You've really made a mess of me I do what I say And I say what I think Just leave your finger ring on the sink I'm gonna love you Beneath the light of the moon If I ever see the break of day Baby, it won't be too soon See that one over there Think he rules the roost Little devil's got the nerve to call himself 'Proust' And running around circles Like the world's biggest chump Oh, just wait until I get you between the axe and the stump I got tight jeans to show my stuff Got a big bad lip full of snuff Got an evil eye and a matching wit I'm so sick and tired, I could spit How did I get to be this high strung Used to be I'd have all the time to s** on my tongue I'm gonna put on a happy face In an hour or two I'll get up and paint this place
