Gutter Honey

Despite her years and missing teeth
She’s still got her natural beauty
And the names of three dead men
Fading on my favorite cuts of her storied skin

My gutter honey
I love my gypsy trouble headed gutter honey

She mutters to herself sometimes
When she’s liquored up or high
About the kids she’s had and lost
And the messed-up family she came from back in Texas

My gutter honey
I love my gypsy trouble headed gutter honey

But she’s always got a sucker waiting on the side
And when she in the wrong she always picks a fight
And she keeps her bags packed and ready at all times
Just in case she ever finds she’s gotta up and fly
Away
Away
Away
Fly away

She never says, “I love you”
And she ain’t good at the truth
But last night I found my name
Inked on her breast next to Bud, Rick and Dwayne’s

My gutter honey
I love my gypsy trouble headed gutter honey

Oh!... my gutter honey
I love my gypsy trouble headed gutter honey

I love my gypsy trouble headed gutter honey
