Fences - Same Blues Lyrics

you're a mother of two
and I tried to be a good father too
I lose my mind when I'm talking to you
and I don't know why that's a lie
yes, I do

guess that I don't know you
but that's fine cause I think that strangers are cool
in time you'll find that I'm bad for you
in time you'll find it's true
so were you

cause you are the ashes
the cigarette smoke in my eyes
and out on my leg 
it's a burn I'll have for life
it's a burn that I like

life is harder in tune
when you find common lines that run through the noose
I'd use your hands if the rope was too loose
and die with a smile on cold tile
next to you

we both sing the same blues
different houses and spouses, but similar views
I'd learn to dance if you'd stand on my shoes
I can't, you're a wife cause you smiled
said ""I do""

cause you are the ashes
the cigarette smoke in my eyes
and out on my leg 
it's a burn I'll have for life

cause you are the ashes
the cigarette smoke in my eyes
and out on my leg 
it's a burn I'll have for life
it's a burn that I like
