Well now i'm in love with a fast-movin' angel
Dresses like the city girls do
When we're apart there's no ache in my heart
When we're together we're a hell of a crew
Chorus:
And i got presents to send you
Even got money to lend you
But honey i can never ever pretend
You're not there on my mind
There sits a fifth of tequila
God i swore i'd never drink it again
But my last little bout i had my hair pulled out
By a man who really wasn't my friend
And i know i'll never see him again
Chorus:
Yeah but i got presents to send you
I've even got money to lend you
But honey i can never ever pretend
You're not there on my mind
Yeah, i thought i might sail down to bridgetown
Spend some time in the barbados sun
But my plans took a skid when i smoked a whole lid
Wound up where i'd begun
Chorus:
Yes and i got presents to send you
I've even got money to lend you
But honey i can never ever pretend
You're not there on my mind
(instrumental)
Chorus:
Yes and i got presents to send you
I've even got money to lend you
But honey i can never ever pretend
You're not there on my mind
Coda:
You're not there on my mind.....
