Steal You Flowers

at least a week I've been gone
smell like booze and worse
got a feeling you're still mad
about the money I took from your purse
-
patching up the holes i made 
is going to take us hours
I'm not coming home empty handed
I'm going to steal you flowers
-
The lady down the way will give me daisies
She likes the way you sing and knows I'm lazy
And old man up the road, I know where his roses grow
I can get three or four, if I sneak up slow
-
ain't the first time I've done wrong
ain't gonna be the last
your sister said mister pack your bags
but you keep taking me back
-
ain't got no more money
ain't got super powers
but I know better than to come home empty handed
I'm going to steal you flowers
