IT'S HARD TO KISS THE LIPS AT NIGHT THAT CHEW YOUR ASS OUT ALL DAY LONG
(Rodney Crowell / Vince Gill)

The Notorious Cherry Bombs (vocal: Crowell & Gill) - 2004


VINCE GILL:
She used to call me baby
I thought she was such a lady
But my how things have changed since times moved on

I gave her my last dollar
And now all she'll do is holler
Oh, my life has become a country song

RODNEY CROWELL:
I've learned she can resist me
By the way she always disses me
And comes to bed at night with that cold cream on

Sometimes I might feel frisky,
But these days it's just too risky
BOTH:
It's hard to kiss the lips at night
That chew your ass out all day long
All day Long, it goes on and on

VINCE GILL:
If a tree fell in the forest
She didn't hear it
Would I still be wrong

RODNEY CROWELL:
I guess I should admit it
She ain't never gonna quit it
BOTH:
It's hard to kiss the lips at night
That chew your ass out all day long

VINCE GILL (SPOKEN):
Man, I remember when her eyes used to be so blue and shiny
God, you oughtta see what's happened to her hiney
(RC: Her what?) Her hiney
Man that thing is big enough to land a small plane on
(RC: Small plane?) I'm tellin' ya
I used to roll her in the clover (RC: Mmmm Mmmm)
But thank God those days are over (RC: Hallelulah!)
BOTH (SUNG):
It's hard to kiss the lips at night
That chew your ass out all day long
All day Long, she goes on and on

RODNEY CROWELL:
If some day they drop the big one,
I'd say, "Sweet Jesus,
She's gonna finally leave me alone"

It's alright if we say it
BOTH:
'Cause the radio won't play it
It's hard to kiss the lips at night
That chew your ass out all day long

It's hard to kiss the lips at night
That chew your ass out all day long
