Lyrics
3) Coleen
m.litton
She was one for the road, she’d make a man smile
Forget all his troubles awhile
A pleasure to touch, but a little too hot
If you loved her more than a little you were in for a lot
Her name was Coleen, she worked in a bar
She’d play a man’s heart like a strummin’ guitar
Take all your money and never be bought
If you loved her more than a little you were in for a lot
Chorus: A lot of the reason a man goes to drinkin’
Is to cloud up his mind and keep him from thinkin’
About a woman he’s known and can never hold
If you love her more than a little, better let her go
Let her go…yeah, let her go…
Like old wine and whiskey she’ll eat at your brain
Till there ain’t nothin’ left but regret and shame
So spend your last dollar and down you last shot
If you love her more than a little you’re in for a lot
(chorus)
