bluegrass, YOUR MOUTH IS WRITING CHEQUES YOUR AS

Intro

Verse 1
You said I would be crawling on the track
You shouted to the drinkers at the wall
I am standing up and never turning back
And I will never answer to your call
You dropped your muddy boots beside my door
And swore you would reduce me to the floor
Now you are running off across the town
Believing you can talk a fighter down

Verse 2
You boasted to my brother on the side
And strutted by the counter of the bar
You said you were going to crush my pride
Before you stumbled blind into your car
You bragged about the money to my mate
Then begged for another pint when it was late
You thought that you would keep me under check
While turning your own fortune to a wreck

Chorus
Your mouth writes cheques you cannot cash
You spill your threats like heavy trash
There is a bill you cannot pay
Your mouth writes cheques you cannot cash

Instrumental Break

Verse 3
You told the pub you owned my family name
And spilled your bitter poison in your beer
The whole front bar can see your ugly shame
The truth of who you are is getting clear
You gambled on a fight you cannot bet
And walked straight into trouble and a debt
So keep on giving every tale a spin
And take the consequences on your chin

Chorus
Your mouth writes cheques you cannot cash
You spill your threats like heavy trash
There is a bill you cannot pay
Your mouth writes cheques you cannot cash

Outro
Your mouth writes cheques you cannot cash
Your mouth writes cheques you cannot cash
