lyrics

I fell in love with an Illinois queen
She took me for a spin in her washing machine
She said I know how to get things clean
And yet I still felt dirty

The whole time I knew her y’know I swore
She didn’t look a day over seventy-four
But then one night my jaw hit the floor
When she said she just turned thirty

I’m just tryin’ to make it through
Another lonesome day without you

I went to the bank to visit my change
The cowboy who’s a teller just looked at me strange
“We never see bowties like that on the range”
And handed me his lasso

We went to punch cows but started punching each other
It kinda felt like I was kissing my brother
He was a con man working undercover
As a king without his castle

I’m just tryin’ to make it through
Another lonesome day without you

You learned pretty quick that my edges are even
Like an icosidodecahedron
I took calculus in college but thought about leavin’
‘Cause the teacher was no Fibonacci

We dated via telegraph till you said stop
You showed me how to dance the diddly bop
Then we cooked up some love on the stovetop
Of my imported Japanese hibachi

I’m just tryin’ to make it through
Another lonesome day without you

Now where this dark tunnel leads I can’t tell
I following the arrows just like William Tell
And the apple of my eyes knows it’s just as well
To be shot without a warning

Sometimes I wish I could travel to space
And use a telescope just to map your face
Instead I’ll dream about your pillowcase
And kissing you in the morning

I’m just tryin’ to make it through
Another lonesome day without you
