From LyricWiki

I need your confidence
Need to know you're mine
When it gets right down to the killing time
I know your heart is bad
But it's all I've ever had
We can live you lives on this righteous crime
I got kicked when I was down
And a sailor took my girl to town
Then she licked my wounds with the sea dog's salt
I drank a half a bottle of Jack
Swore I'd never take you back
By the bottle's end I was on that phone
What you call compromise I don't understand
What you call compromise I don't understand.
How do you walk away?
How do you walk away?
How do you walk away?
From a woman that gone and done you wrong?
Need to know you're mine
When it gets right down to the killing time
I know your heart is bad
But it's all I've ever had
We can live you lives on this righteous crime
I got kicked when I was down
And a sailor took my girl to town
Then she licked my wounds with the sea dog's salt
I drank a half a bottle of Jack
Swore I'd never take you back
By the bottle's end I was on that phone
What you call compromise I don't understand
What you call compromise I don't understand.
How do you walk away?
How do you walk away?
How do you walk away?
From a woman that gone and done you wrong?
