I parked my car 'round back I've got the shades pulled down I told everybody including my mama I was leaving town But I've been right here Since you've been gone Belly-up at the bottom of a bottle Listening to George Jones And just playin' possum Laying low I've got hundred watts of hurtin' Coming through the speakers of my stereo Don't want to see nobody Nowhere I want to go I'm just playin' possum And laying low I'm gonna hide my heart And be a love recluse Oh I could cry on my best friend's shoulder But there ain't no use I need an expert on The pain I'm going through So I'll keep George on the old turntable 'Til I'm over you And just playin' possum Laying low I've got hundred watts of hurtin' Coming through the speakers of my stereo Don't want to see nobody Nowhere I want to go I'm just playin' possum And laying low He's playin' possum And he's laying low
