lyrics

(Two) Empty Jugs

Like a fool I’m trapped
Inside two eyes that won’t look back
And a mouth that’s begging for a kiss

All her coin she spent on me
Liberty, Indian Head and Jefferson make three
My friends are both right and wrong
Good nature can’t fit into a three minute song

Chorus 1:
Now, I’ve been nowhere for five years
Pining for love, luck, or both
Everyone tells me to trust my strength and my heart
But my arms are frail
And my feelings fade right after the start

Well our embraces are fierce
And our nights far from chaste
As she breathes beside me I wonder
Am I worth all her pain?

Her burdens are in the backseat
While mine are in the front line
We’ll bear them together
You see, that’s how lovers lie

Chorus 2:

Now, I’ve been nowhere for five years
Pining for love, luck, or both
Everyone tells me to value my strength and my heart
But my arms are frail
And my feelings fade after the start

You can’t just fill two empty jugs with love
You just can’t
