Killin' Ti

You were the first thing that i thought of
When i thought i drank you off my mind
When i get lost in the liquor
You're the only one i find
And if i did the things i oughta
You still would not be mine
So i'll keep a tight grip on the bottle
Gettin' loose and killin' time
This killin' time is killin' me
Drinking myself blind thinkin' i won't see
That if i cross that line and they bury me
I just might find i'll be killin' time for eternity
I don't know nothin' 'bout tomorrow
I've been lost in yesterday
I've spent all my life just dying
For a love that passed away
And if there's an end to all my sorrow
And this is the only price i'll pay
I'll be a happy man when i go
And i can't wait another day
Repeat chorus

straight from the factory

Straight from the factory
We were made for each other
One of those things that's meant to be
Straight from the factory
Nothin' less than exactly
You're the only lock that's made to fit my key.

Many parts and many hearts
Been mismatched before
Still they make delivery.
Some folks send 'em back and never find what they need
But babe my satisfaction's guaranteed.

Straight from the factory
We were made for each other
One of those things that's meant to be
Straight from the factory
Nothin' less than exactly
You're the only lock that's made to fit my key.

Straight from the factory
We were made for each other
One of those things that's meant to be
Straight from the factory
Nothin' less than exactly
You're the only lock that's made to fit my key.

Sittin' tight and sittin' proud
Waitin' on a shove
Passers by just keep on passin' by
I'll admit i did a bit of passin' by myself
Til' i found a perfect fit
And now i'm tied.

Straight from the factory
We were made for each other
Perfect match as anyone can see
Straight from the factory
Nothin' less than exactly
You're the only lock that's made to fit my key.

You're the only lock that's made to fit my key.............

What do you say when it's over?
I don't know if i should say anything at all
One day we're rollin' in the clover
Next thing you know we take the fall
Still, i think about the years since i first met you
And the way it might have been without you here
And i don't know if words from me can still upset you
But i've just gotta make this memory stand clear
I know i'm leavin' here a better man
For knowin' you this way
Things i couldn't do before, now i think i can
And i'm leavin here a better man
I guess i always knew i couldn't hold you
But i'd never be the one to set you free
Just like some old nursery rhyme your mama told you
You still believe in some old meant-to-be
Repeat chorus
Still, i'm leavin' here a better man...
Repeat chorus

Move slowly to my dresser drawers
Put my blue jeans on
Find my cowboy boots, my button down
Strap my timepiece on my arm
Grab my billfold, my pocket change
Just a mindless old routine
Then it's out the door and down the street
But it's not really me
I still comb my hair the same
Still like the same cologne
And i still drive that pickup truck
That the same old bank still owns
But since you left, everybody says
I'm not the guy they've known
The lights are on, but nobody's home
Cup of coffee in the morning
Just food for the brain
But i've been numb since our last goodbye
I haven't felt a thing
But now there's pains in my head
And pains in my chestand i think i'm losing my hair
I'm a half a man with half a mind
To think you didn't care
Repeat chorus
