I Love Leavers Lyrics by The Band Loula
I’ve tried white collar
good with a dollar
A doctor and a lawyer
the kind that makes my mama smile
He reads up on the word
there ain’t a verse he’s never heard
Says yes ma’am, and says yes sir
But that just ain’t my style
I need something to hold
I love backsliding breaches
and used car dealers
and bottom feeders
and compulsive cheaters
Broken promise keepers
and second chance pleaders
We all have our addictions
I love leavers (I love leavers)
I love leavers (I love leavers)
I had me a rambler
A time-smoking gambler
Rips and all his arraign
He was my pride and joy
He said he’d come home soon
But I ain’t seen him since last June
Lord, I think he hung the moon
And who’s my lover but the fire in my lungs
I love backsliding preachers
And used car dealers
And bottom feeders
And compulsive cheaters
Broken promise keepers
And second chance pleaders
We all have our addictions
But I love leavers (I love leavers)
Yeah I love leavers (I love leavers)
I need a man like old (?)
Loves me good, then leaves me alone
I need a man like Johnny Cash
Sees three other women in comes right back
I need a man like old Hank Senior
Cause a cheating heart makes a loving sweeter
