There's No Water For The Cactus In My Heart 03:20
lyrics
There's no water for the cactus in my heart There's no more fertilizer for my soul She stripped off all my blossoms and tore my roots apart And left me to die here in this dry hole We started out on very fertile ground Growing together here in this bed But once I took her succulence for granted And let my prickly pears be misled My branches grew away from her direction Soon they wrapped around an old fence post That's when she uprooted and tilled up all my soil Her moisture is what I will miss the most There's no water for the cactus in my heart There's no more fertilizer for my soul She stripped off all my blossoms and tore my roots apart And left me to die here in this dry hole My needles are no longer pointing stiff The dust has gathered on my withered veins What once was standing firm has fallen over This hollow stump of a stalk is all that remains There's no water for the cactus in my heart There's no more fertilizer for my soul She stripped off all my blossoms and tore my roots apart And left me to die here in this dry hole

about

Ronnie Ply is out there somewhere feeling sorry for himself. He's paid for more wedding rings than he has fingers. At the age of 11, his father, Rubel Ply, kicked him hard in the ass with a size 13D Justin boot and said, "Hurry up with them calf fries!"
