Perfumed and smoky â'‚¬¢ She swears that she knows me â'‚¬¢ She's falling down drunk again â'‚¬¢ I say she's mistaken â'‚¬¢ She's visibly shaken â'‚¬¢ Emotions all drowned in gin â'‚¬¢ She said I used to be beautiful â'‚¬¢ But now it's all gone â'‚¬¢ I let my dreams slip away from me â'‚¬¢ That's where it went wrong â'‚¬¢ Go be young, go be free â'‚¬¢ Follow your heart where it leads you â'‚¬¢ Don't end up like me â'‚¬¢ The Indian in the guardhouse used to spin me yarns â'‚¬¢ Stories of canyons and Boston in winter â'‚¬¢ And losing his family's farms â'‚¬¢ He said I've outlived my three sons, they died in three wars â'‚¬¢ I laughed and I cried while they lived and they died â'‚¬¢ And I know that they deserve more â'‚¬¢ Chorus â'‚¬¢ Perfumed and smoky She swears that she knows me â'‚¬¢ I'm falling down drunk again â'‚¬¢ I say she's mistaken â'‚¬¢ She's visibly shaken â'‚¬¢ Emotions all drowned in gin â'‚¬¢ Isay I used to be powerful â'‚¬¢ But now it's all gone â'‚¬¢ I let my dreams take control of me â'‚¬¢ That's where it went wrong â'‚¬¢ Chorus
