Lyrics
Had a run down in Lenyon
And I got a handle of gin
I'm holdin' up with Ramona
At the Ramada Inn
Rat trap, is fill a stat
And cheap heat and repose
Strange comforts wash over me
As pourin' off your clothes
Where have all them dark days gone
The good times just keep draggin' on
Ramona, I was wrong
Ramona
Curtains drawn against the mornin'
And I'm waitin' out some storm
Soft core glows softly
And then the shadows fall
Another hit and I'll pack my shit
Lord knows I can't stay
I might just pull ya closer
And take your breath away
Where have all them dark days gone
The good times just kept draggin' on
Ramona, I was wrong
Ramona!
And from the strip mall shit Ramada
I got on the 109
And I don't miss your voice
Or wish we had more time
Cause I'm cut from a ragged cloth
Newcaine bound
And I won't feel this way again
Until they stuck me in the ground
Where have all them dark days gone
Those good times just kept draggin' on
Ramona, I was wrong
Ramona!
