Lyrics:

\'Ain't no use in me cryin no more.\' She says,

\'My own tears just make me sicker.\'

So she took twenty dollars and she left for the store

To find faith in the form of cheap liquor

\'I have only been drunk for four years\' she would joke,

\'Since I was twenty-one\'

But there's no one to talk to in the check out line

Nobody to share in the fun



She says, \'Lord, I don't want to give up

I just need a reason for trying.

So hide me away in the jungle now, Lord

Before they feed me to the lions.

Yeah, before they feed me to the lions.\'



On her drive home she was thinking

How he'd finally crossed that line

She snuck in and packed up one suitcase quickly

Before she changed her mind

She left him no note, no, no nothing

Placed the bottle between her knees

At a red light she unscrewed the Thunderbird


To have it ready in case of need



She says, \'Lord, I don't want to give up

I just need a reason for trying.

So hide me away in the jungle now, Lord

Before they feed me to the lions.

Yeah, before they feed me to the lions.\'



One night on the town is just tease enough

The open road it's calling

She buys one more drink with the change in her purse

Gets the rest from a man who calls her Darling

Thinking about him, it ain't hard to do

The hard part is keeping from crying

With friends all around she retreats to the car

To sleep off intentions of flying



She says, Lord, I don't want to give up

I just need a reason for trying.

So hide me away in the jungle now, Lord

Before they feed me to the lions.

Yeah, before they feed me to the lions.
