Don't Wait Up (I'm Playin' Possum) Songtext
von Shooter Jennings

I′m a rattlesnake and I make no bones
And I'm in too deep like "No Show Jones"
I like a little sugar in my coffee
Somebody′s givin' you sugar and baby it's not me

That′s okay, I′ve got a plan of my own
Yeah I got a couple numbers I don't keep in my phone
Gonna call ′em up and see who's around
Gonna spend a couple nights in the dark downtown

She gonna love me right and you love me wrong
Tonight lemme put on some more cheatin′ songs
Put on some Whitley or a little bit of Gosdin
Baby don't wait up ′cause I'm playin' possum

Yeah Yeah

Been spendin′ my night in the honky dives
Well I know a few drunk who′re still alive
They call me up to tell me where you been
That you been hangin' out with the likes of him


That′s all right, baby, I been makin'
I been makin′ moves while you been drinkin'
I′m gonna get what I need from a red light bed
Don't bother callin' I turned off my cell

It takes a little moonshine to make a black rose blossom
Baby don′t wait up I′m-a playin' possum
Playin′ possum

She gonna love me right, you love me wrong
So maybe baby put on some more cheatin' songs
Put on a little Keith Whitley or a little Vern Gosdin
Baby don′t wait up I'm-a playin′ possum

I'm-a playin' possum
I′m-a playin′ possum
I'm-a playin′ possum
I'm-a playin′ possum
I'm-a playin′ possum
I'm-a playin' possum
I′m-a playin′ possum
