Willie Nelson

Most Unoriginal Sin

What there was left of us
Was all covered in dust and thick skin
A half eaten apple
Or the whole Sistine Chapel
Painted on the head of a pin
A life long love's worth
Gone up in a smurk
And you didn't even see her waltz in
Now this love is a ghost
Having played host
To the most unoriginal sin
At the wedding we smiled
While some devil played wild violin
Soon after the chapel
She offered me that apple
One bite and I was gone with the wind
And you needed no proof
Cause the whole naked truth
Was wearing only an infidel's grin
And a proud schoolboy's boast
Of having left his post
For the most unoriginal sin
INSTRUMENTAL D/G/D/A/D x2
Now the jukebox is humming
All the venial shortcomings of men
Lord I found me this drink
That can finally sink
All the skills that I've been wallowing in
Buddy once you get started
Once true love's departed
You do it over and over again
So tonight I will toast
Just whoever comes close
To the most unoriginal sin.
