Damn Shame

I hid out on the front porch
 I laid up in my mind
 I looked for me a love
 The best one I could find
 He got himself a ticket
 On an international flight
 Oh it's nothing
 But a goddamn shame
 Is what it is
 Oh it's nothing
 But a goddamn shame
 The smell of burnt exhaust
 Drifts into the bar
 It's midnight in California
 It's high noon where you are
 Motorcycles and booze
 Dirty old perfume
 Oh it's nothing
 But a goddamn shame
 Is what it is
 Oh it's nothing
 But a goddamn shame
 I tried to go to sleep
 In my haunted little room
 The shadows are churning
 In the passage of the moon
 It'd break my heart to tell you
 I couldn't come so soon
 Oh it's nothing
 But a goddamn shame
 Is what it is
 Oh, it's nothing
 But a goddamn shame
 Tell me one more time
 Why you went away
 It makes a little sense
 In the light of day
 When evening comes around
 All my senses fly away
 It's nothing
 But a goddamn shame
 Is what it is
 Oh it's nothing
 But a goddamn shame
