Born A Genius

by John Pippus

on Born A Genius (2010)

There's something that I wanted to tell you
Something I forgot to say
I was born a genius
I liked it better that way

But too much wild living
Wall to wall excess
Ground me down even
Left me in this mess

Oh what a lonely sentence
I remember when the deal went bad

Holding court in a motel bar
Hanging on a song
When in walked a lady
A lady of the night

She said I can see that you want me
I'll take that as a sign
We were meant to be together
Til the end of time

Oh what a lonely sentence
I remember when the deal went south

Interstate, got the pedal down
Living life under the gun
I'm busted and stranded
And I'm on the run

I was born for good loving
Remorse is not my style
I hate to say it
But she was the one

Oh what a lonely sentence
Oh what a crazy time
Oh what a sorry state I'm in
I remember when the deal went down
