Box Office Poison Rita's Rings
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'
