I don't have time to write the whole story of this tune at this time, but it has to do with a kindly sherriff named Buzz and his date.

have another beer on me, go on and light anothe cigarette

drink yourself two or three and stare into the tv set

and i pray whatever brought you to me will be gone, be gone, be gone

my addiction for you last too long, so be gone, be gone

throw another pot of coffee on, pack another one before I go

this kind of waitin' takes too long, so I'm quittin' in the morning

and I pray whatever brought you to me will be gone, be gone, be gone

my addiction for you last to long so be gone, be gone

and when I get around to it, I'm gonna break habits lord I swear its not too late

and when I get around to it, I'm gonna stop setting watch by you and me

I ain't as old as I claim to be, aint as cold as I ought to be

So, I stand out on the porch all night.  I hope this empty's gonna blow right through me.
