Rita s Rings lyrics

I m freezing cold hitch hiking through this dead town
Ain t no money left since they closed the shop down
I lived with a stripper and I... I just painted things
Things nobody wanted to see so I hocked Rita s rings

Sold all three
So why won t this truck go any faster?
I still need to figure out where I gotta go
Rita s in the back of my mind
I don t know what she s doin
I just know she aint doin it here

I aint seen Rita in nearly a week
Man I couldnt stay with things so bleak
where my body wants to be my mind won t go
where I ll be tonight, I don t know

I just learned to paint in school
never wanted to work for nobody else
didn t wanna work for a man who s just takin , takin , takin give me a drink
let s drink to my health

There s nothing to see in this dead Montana town
but if there s something to paint I got plenty of brown
Rita s in the back of my mind
I don t know what she s doin
I just know she ain t doin it here

She s as dumb as me
But she got a hard hot body any man would pay to see
She can retire when she s thirty
And I ll starve my self, and I don t mind
Where my mind wants to be, my body won t go
where I ll be tonight I don t know

takin , takin , takin
