Ways + Means - Mike Doughty

The best I ever did with my life

Said just three honest words to you

Three droplets in a pail of lies

Three gems among the alibis

Yes, I know the ways and means I are, Ma

Yes I know the ways and means I are

The best I ever did with my love

Said your name on the microphone

You heard it the restaurant

Cashed out and brought your tips on home

The best I ever did with my bucks

Put two down on your horse to show

She lost but just kept racing round

Kept running til the sun went down
