Hungover and Hung Up on You

Hungover and Hung Up on You
by Jesse Daniel Edwards
ASCAP

she told me to pick her up at eight
she told me to keep her out till late
I don't know why I made the mistake
of telling her that you still keep me awake
I rallied my army of cups
and the good man gave me all the good stuff
she called the cab when they said I'd had enough
but I found myself alone when the car pulled up

Got up this morning
with a new headache
and an old heartache
I just can't cure myself of you
A one sided conversation
and half a cigarette
hungover and hung up on you again

I took two Percocet with three glasses on wine
and something a little stronger at ten to five
now there's nothing left in this belly of mine
but sweet regret to kill all the time
and that number on a napkin without a name
how can it look so hopeful
and helpless at the same time?
I don't think anyone would blame me if I
hung up with absolutely nothing to say
