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
