The Courtesy Of Kings - John Mellencamp[00:00:00]
I knew this colorful woman once[00:00:09]
She drank and had a roving eye[00:00:13]
In the morning she was always mournful[00:00:17]
She'd cry and apologize[00:00:21]
But she'd always repeat herself[00:00:25]
Find comfort with a stranger and sing[00:00:28]
She never took much notice[00:00:33]
In the courtesy of kings[00:00:37]
She had pictures of Cuban artists[00:00:50]
And paintings from Rotterdam[00:00:54]
Promises that she made[00:00:59]
She never could stay true to them[00:01:01]
She said she loved me so deeply[00:01:06]
Then she'd spit in my face and scream[00:01:09]
And she never took much notice[00:01:15]
In the courtesy of kings[00:01:18]
She had the face of an angel[00:01:31]
And a smile no one could deny[00:01:35]
But the heart of a devil[00:01:39]
Beat deep down in her inside[00:01:43]
She spoke of judgment and forgiveness[00:01:47]
Her other lovers didn't mean a thing[00:01:50]
She never took much notice[00:01:56]
In the courtesy of kings[00:02:00]
We parted in the middle of nowhere[00:02:36]
I haven't seen her since then[00:02:39]
She always kept my mind busy[00:02:43]
She made her lies sing like a hymn[00:02:47]
Sometimes I wonder if I'd see her[00:02:51]
If I would still recognize[00:02:55]
Or just remember her as a dream[00:03:00]
And respect her for the love she used to bring[00:03:05]
And if I could show her[00:03:11]
The courtesy of kings[00:03:15]
