Steve Earle

I was almost outta here nearly this time
I saw you in my rear view mirror and I pulled up on a dime
But nothing ventured nothing lost
You can't say we didn't try
That is unless you weighed the costs of every tear we cried
Why do we do this to each other
I guess we were always poison lovers
If you could look me in the eyes
And tell me what you see
Maybe you can tell me why I let you torture me
I know that your lips are soft and they sing the sweetest songs
But I've been listening long enough
My heart has turned to stone
Why do we do this to each other
I guess we were always poison lovers
SOLO
And Another time another place
Another wind to blame cover every track and trace
I'll find you just the same
And even if we made our peace
And went our separate ways
You'd go west and I'd go east
And we'd meet here in this place
Why do we do this to each other
I guess we were always poison lovers
Why do we do this to each other
I guess we were always poison lovers
