Good Lord Lorrie

Lorrie lit a cigarette and smiled, and waved the smoke out of her face

With her black hair brown from the summer sun, green eyes looked around the place

Then she told me that she loved me, and I grinned and grabbed her hand and said, I know

Let's get from here now, darling, if we're going lets go on and go

Well, Lorrie said her family used to have a little money, and they still act like they do

But your daddy don't think I'm fit to sit in the same room with you

And if I ever set foot in Sevier County, well, your brother said he'd break my jaw

But here I stand with a dark haired daughter of southwest Arkansas

And I've been learning that believing and that barely breaking even

It's just a part of life for you and me

And I've been living with the loneliness, it's got down in my bones, I guess

It's just another phase of being free

And I've been learning how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along

Well, good lord, Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong?

Well, good lord, Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong?

Well, D. Queen's dry so I bought us both a bottle in downtown Broken Bow

Lorrie's got a buddy with a double wide trailer, they were shaking dominoes

And I had good intentions 'til I had too many, I was stupid, I suppose

You better put a little money where your mouth is, boy, and try to keep it closed

And I've been learning that believing and that barely breaking even

It's just a part of life for you and me

And I've been living with the loneliness, it's got down in my bones, I guess

It's just another phase of being free

And I've been learning how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along

Well, good lord, Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong?

Well, good lord, Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong?

Well, Lorie said, "I wonder what we ever went through all this trouble for

You ain't half of who I thought you was, and this ain't fun no more"

And her words cut clean through drunk and dark and dimming doorway light

Well, I've had all I can handle, hope you're happy now, goodnight

Guess her folks were right

Guess her folks were right

Well, goodnight, Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong?

Well, goodnight, Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong?
