Lyrics
Well I was, dead drunk when I heard the phone ring, god knows who that could be
Cause you're off in Minnesota, working on your law degree.
Sometimes I can understand it, other times it's a mystery.
Why you're off in Minnesota, why you aint in love with me..
It's been so long since I held you closely, feels like a lifetime ago
Now days I think of you mostly, in the cold wind rain and snow.
And I know it doesn't matter, all the girls that come around
Cause you're off in Minnesota, and all you do is bring me... Down.
Believe me, it aint easy, trying to get you off of my mind..
Alcohol is a deadly poison, it makes you say things you shouldn't say
Words a sober tongue keeps hidden, and never see the light of day
But I know those words can't hurt me, not like they have done before
Cause you're off in Minnesota, and I'm passed out on this,,, Floor.
Believe me, it aint easy, trying to keep you out of my mind..
I could sit here and wait, keep waiting on your love, its never gonna come
You could have anyone, any boy you please, so why you pickin on me..
Oh girl you've got to believe me, living without you will never be easy,
All these miles can't keep you out of my mind..
Well I was, dead drunk when I heard the phone ring, and I went right back to sleep.
Cause you're off in Minnesota, working on your law degree...
