An early Loam Disher musing with the balboans flair..... the story of the balboans as told by the boy who grew up there.
lyrics
Bad Love
Intro
Verse One
Standin at the station, waiting for the train
You know the story so I won’t explain
It’s been six or seven weeks since I’ve seen her face
And it’d be just my luck, I think it’s about to rain
Verse Two
Standin’ on the highway, tryin’ to thumb a lift
Four hundred miles to get, where my baby lives
And I can feel the darkness just starting to creep in
I hope she’s ready to take, all the lovin I got to give
Chorus One
She said she loved me, she said she cared
Everytime I needed her, she wasn’t there
She’s just a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad lover
That’s gone wrong
I won’t be missin’ her too much, oh no now when she’s gone
Bridge
When she’s gone
When she’s gone
When she’s gone
Last Verse
Standin’ on a rooftop, nine stories up
Thinkin’ about the way that she, nixed our love
I never thought this would come down to push and shove
I swear your honor she just kinda’ up’d and jumped
Last Chorus
She said she loved me, she said she cared
Everytime I needed her, she wasn’t there
She’s just a bad, bad, bad, bad, bad lover
That’s gone wrong
I won’t be missin’ her too much, oh no now that she’s gone
I won’t be missin’ her too much, oh no now that she’s gone
Now that she’s gone
Now that she’s gone
Now that she’s gone
Now that she’s gone
She’s just a bad, bad lover
She’s just a bad, bad lover
