Slick & Delta Queen

She'll be in Denver come the break of dawn
 Her calloused heart, her regale charm
 Graced the city in his open arms
 And his bed come tonight
 But me I'm stranded down on silver street
 Just throwing bottles at the delta queen
 She passes slow like your memory
 Makes the bin floats out of sight
 ♪
 Austin Texas Matress on the floor
 We buy some grass from the kid next door
 We bitch of love as if it was a chore
 But we made it to ease both our minds
 First time I lost you was a mean curve ball
 Thrown in Las Vegas down a a hotel hall
 Why we stuck it out then I can't recall
 Seems my honesty's is always on trial
 And I never once called you "baby"
 I never once called you anything
 Oh, I never once called you "baby"
 I always thought you were more to me
 ♪
 I saw him coming with his suit and tie
 His hair slicked back looked a lot like mine
 But that was years ago and over time
 Lost my scissors, my comb and my style
 And how he watched us as at the table there
 As we caught up on our winning wares
 Our escapades, our life ain't fares
 And how you'll be leaving with him tonight
 
 And I bet he calls you "baby"
 I never once called you anything
 Oh, I bet he calls you "baby"
 I always thought you were more to me
 ♪
 So if I'm breathing on some solid ground
 And what went up the river comes back down
 Maybe we'll meet again next time around
 And talk of those vagabond times
 Keep all your stubbornness and pretty smile
 Keep all your dreams about that unborn child
 Keep both your feet out the wedding isle
 Now I'll keep you in the back of my mind
