Give me a bottle of your very best
'cause i've got a problem i'm gonna drink off my chest
Gonna spend the night gettin' down
'cause that woman i had wrapped around my finger just come unwound

That woman i had wrapped around my finger just come unwound
She kicked me outta the house and tonight i'm whiskey-bound
I'm gonna be the drunkest fool in town
'cause that woman i had wrapped around my finger just come unwound

Well she packed my bags and opened up the door
And i got the feeling she didn't want me around no more
She caught me in a lie, i was messin' around
And that woman i had wrapped around my finger just come unwound

That woman i had wrapped around my finger just come unwound
She kicked me outta the house and tonight i'm whiskey-bound
I'm gonna be the drunkest fool in town
'cause that woman i had wrapped around my finger just come unwound

Well i'm out on a tear 'cause she's tearing me apart
If i look rough on the outside, you ought to see my heart.
And this look in my eyes shows beyond a doubt,
Since my woman left, i'm down and out.

Well, i'm down at the bar, out of my mind,
Tighter than an eight-day clock with no way to unwind,
That jukebox cries the blues like it knows what i'm about.
Since my woman left, i'm down and out.

Well i'm down to my last dollar, but i don't really care.
My friends have all got whiskey, and they don't mind if i share.
They know how it feels to have your heart torn inside out,
Since my woman left, i'm down and out.

Well, i'm down at the bar, out of my mind,
Tighter than an eight-day clock with no way to unwind,
That jukebox cries the blues like it knows what i'm about.
Since my woman left, i'm down and out.

Since my woman left, since my woman left,
Since my woman left, i'm down and out.

We said goodbye
In marina del rey
"i had a good time"
Was the last thing i heard her say
As i walked away
And on this plane back to tennessee
My mind comes across her memory
And yesterday
In marina del rey

Chorus:
On a hidden beach under a golden sun
She spread a blanket
That we laid down on and loved the world away
In marina del rey
And as we looked into each other's eyes
We found our body's lost in paradise
Like castaways
In marina del rey

Like the ocean tides
High and lows
Love sometimes comes and goes away
In marina del rey
And as this plane is touching down
Tears touch my eyes for i have found
My heart has stayed
In marina del rey

Chorus

Nickels and dimes
Memories and wines
She's on his mind once again
The same old fool
The same old stool
Played by the rules but didn't win
There's an old love in his heart that he can't lose
He tried forgetting but he knows that it's no use

Chorus:
He's got a fool hearted memory
That won't let him see
That she walked out the door
He's got a fool hearted memory
He sits patiently
Here every night so it can fool him more

She was his girl
His only whirl
That string of pearls that slipped away
A thousand dimes
A thousand times
He doesn't mind what they say
He fills the jukebox
And plays the same old song
He fills his glass
And then he turns her memory on

Chorus
