Demo version of "Paradise."

lyrics

With a name like Margarita, you might think she’d like to drink
But she’s liable to surprise you in more ways than you might think
She smells like cigarettes and dirt and she’d say she looks a mess
But she’s an angel clad in cowboy boots, and I fell for her, I guess

Well I met her at the Silver Creek, on down 123
I said, “Hey girl, watcha drinkin’?” And I bought her and iced tea
She said, “Boy, where you headed? And where the hell did you come from?”
I said, “I’m working for the road commission ’til the job gets done.”

Margarita, I was lost but now I’m found
But tomorrow, I believe I’m headed down

Those of us who lay the asphalt tend to be a rowdy crew
But she straightened me out pretty quick, almost before I knew
I spent a month in heaven and we had our share of fun
But the streets in Paradise are paved and I’m leaving with the sun

Margarita, I was lost but now I’m found
But tomorrow, I believe I’m headed down

There’s a town outside of Pinckney, a little place that they call Hell
And I guess our good intentions haven’t paved the roads too well
So the foreman told the paving crew it’s time to do our part
And I’m leaving in the morning with an aching in my heart

Margarita, I was lost but now I’m found
But tomorrow, I believe I’m headed down
