Schwa Lyrics

Gina

Lyricist: John Mullins
Vocalist: John Mullins

Buy Gina a fifty-cent coffee
Buy her a dollar fifty beer
Gina drinks what you buy her
She's not convinced that you're really there.

You know the booze loosens your bones
But you just wanted to talk tonight
Gina sits but she don't say much
Sitting next to you so very quiet

[chorus]
Try as hard as you may
Try as hard as you might
Gina don't talk, not around tonight
Try as hard as you may
Try as hard as you might
She is there, not taking flight
Oh, Gina..

She hops the morning bus for Detroit
Leaving you alone in a dry gulp's lurch
In a week you receive an invitation
To a wedding at the desolated church

[chorus]

Gina's leaving home
She's already gone
The road's been calling out her name
She's already gone
It's not the same
No, It's not the same

We're all alone in a blue note bar
Thinking that you're gonna up and buy the farm
The bartender passes you a cold one
Paid for by the woman at the end of the bar

[chorus]
