Testo Slick & delta queen Kyle Craft

Slick & delta queen

She'll be in Denver by the break of dawn
Her calloused heart, her regal charm
Will grace the city in his open arms
And his bed come tonight
But me I'm stranded down on Silver Street
Just throwing bottles at the Delta Queen
She passes slow like your memory, makes the bend
And floats out of sight

Austin, Texas, mattress on the floor
We'd buy some grass from the kid next door
We bitch of love as if it was a chore
but we made it to ease both our minds
First time I lost you was a mean curveball
Thrown in Las Vegas down a hotel hall
Why we stuck it out, man, I can't recall
Seems my honesty's always on trial

And I never once called you baby, I never once called you anything
I never once called you baby
I always thought you were more to me

And I saw him coming with his suit and tie
His hair slicked back looked a lot like mine
But that was years ago and over time
Lost my scissors, my comb, and my style
And how he watched us at the table there
As we caught up on our when and wheres
Our escapades, our life-ain't-fairs
and how you'll be leaving with him tonight

And I bet he calls you baby, I never once called you anything
Oh I bet he calls you baby, I always thought you were more to me

So if I'm breathing on some solid ground
And what went up the river comes back down
Maybe we'll meet again next time around
And talk of those vagabond times
Keep all your stubbornness and pretty smile
Keep all your dreams about that unborn child
Keep both your feet out of the wedding aisle
And I'll keep you in the back of my mind
