Just Playin' Possum

I parked my car 'round back

I've got the shades pulled down

I told everybody including my mama

I was leaving town

But I've been right here

Since you've been gone

Belly-up at the bottom of a bottle

Listenin' to George Jones

And just playin' possum

Laying low

I've got a hundred watts of hurtin'

Comin' through the speakers of my stereo

Don't wanna see nobody

Nowhere I wanna go

I'm just playin' possum

And layin' low

I'm gonna hide my heart

And be a love recluse

Oh I could cry on my best friend's shoulder

But there ain't no use

I need an expert on

The pain I'm going through

So I'll keep George on the old turntable

'Til I'm over you

And just playin' possum

Layin' low

I've got a watts of hurtin'

Comin' through the speakers of my stereo

Don't wanna see nobody

Nowhere I wanna go

I'm just playin' possum

And layin' low

Tell'em, George

He's playin' possum

And he's layin' low
