Cartoon Gold Lyrics - Go-go Boots - Drive By Truckers

I'm not good with numbers 

I just count on knowing when I'm high enough 

A mule with only two legs counting steps 

Toward dangling carrots don't add up 

I think about you when I can 

And even sometimes when I can't I do 

Once the driver knows you got good sense 

He takes away the carrots too 

Getting all excited, finding nothing 

That was never there before 

It's like bringing flowers to your Mama 

And tracking dog shit all over the floor 

Jesus made the flowers 

But it took a dog to make the story good 

I think about you when I can 

And sometimes when I don't I probably should 

Tending bar in L.A. after dark 

Must be like mining cartoon gold 

Rocks that won't cooperate 

And tools that drive you crazy must get old 

I think about you when I can 

And sometimes when I do I still get caught 

Sitting in a bar in L.A. after dark 

With my sunglasses on
