Perfumed and smoky â"š¬ She swears that she knows me â"š¬ She's falling down drunk again â"š¬ I say she's mistaken â"š¬ She's visibly shaken â"š¬ Emotions all drowned in gin â"š¬ She said I used to be beautiful â"š¬ But now it's all gone â"š¬ I let my dreams slip away from me â"š¬ That's where it went wrong â"š¬ Go be young, go be free â"š¬ Follow your heart where it leads you â"š¬ Don't end up like me â"š¬ The Indian in the guardhouse used to spin me yarns â"š¬ Stories of canyons and Boston in winter â"š¬ And losing his family's farms â"š¬ He said I've outlived my three sons, they died in three wars â"š¬ I laughed and I cried while they lived and they died â"š¬ And I know that they deserve more â"š¬ Chorus â"š¬ Perfumed and smoky She swears that she knows me â"š¬ I'm falling down drunk again â"š¬ I say she's mistaken â"š¬ She's visibly shaken â"š¬ Emotions all drowned in gin â"š¬ Isay I used to be powerful â"š¬ But now it's all gone â"š¬ I let my dreams take control of me â"š¬ That's where it went wrong â"š¬ Chorus
