Lyrics

Leah and I
by Crawford Hurst & Nick Coleman

Verse:

Well at 20 years old
I was in love with a woman
she was ripe as a pearl
and as sweet as whipped cream
and I wrote her love letters and I'd hope that she'd read them
but she never did much care
for my lack of hygiene

She would sit on a park bench
and read a best seller
while I laid in the shade
and strummed a guitar
and every so often
she'd glare over the pages
to remind me that I'd never
be a big star

Chorus:

Leah liked tequila
and she held it like Jose
drank it like juice
hoping I'd go away
but in the morning when she woke
I was laying beside her
and she'd stumble to the toilet
with nothing to say

Verse:

Well I was so in love
I didn't need her to love me
her heart was stubborn
and her tongue was unkind
but I never reconsidered
my devotion to Leah
because I was young and in love
and the two left me blind

Chorus:

Leah liked tequila
and she held it like Jose
drank it like juice
hoping I'd go away
but in the morning when she woke
I was laying beside her
and she'd stumble to the toilet
with nothing to say


Verse:

Well I turned 23
on the day Leah left me
she wrote me a note saying,
"Farewell, it's been fun.
And I'm sorry that I hurt you, but you're wounds, they will soon heal, and darling
we both knew this day would soon come."

Well I'm 24
which means Leah is 40
and I wonder just how
she's doing these days
she's probably sitting on a park bench
and reading John Grisham
feeding the ducks,
chasing young boys away

Chorus:

Leah liked tequila
and she held it like Jose
drank it like juice
hoping I'd go away
but in the morning when she woke
I was laying beside her
and she'd stumble to the toilet
with nothing to say

For all I know she's probably
still stumbling today
