Box Office Poison - 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'
