Apple Pie

Apple Pie - Flannel Graph

I told my dad I didn't love him anymore

And I grabbed all the cash

And I went and slammed the door

And I spent it like

Yeah I spent it like a movie star

Yeah I spent it right

I spent it right in all the bars

And I was so hungry

So thirsty

The ladies they adored me

And the men all wished to be me

They burned with all their jealousy

I had everything that a man like me should buy

And I lived like a king in America with apple pie

But my heart was small

And my world was smaller than before

And my fence was tall

To keep out the people who were wanting more

I knew a girl

Oh Katie was her name

She was quite the whirlwind

And she wanted to state my claim

And she said

Oh baby

Oh maybe

You and me could get married

And we'll settle down and bury

All the warrants in our history

But all the party lights went out

And I was left alone

And the amount of money that I had

Was the amount of love I was shown

And I had nothing

Oh nothing

Yeah I had nothing

Yeah I had nothing no

But I had something

Oh I had something

Oh something

Oh I had something

Oh I oh I had something

Oh I had something

Oh I had something

Somebody

So I gathered up all of my pride

And I hitchhiked to a town where my dignity had died

And he was waiting yeah he was waiting

And he ran

And kissed me
