Lyric discussion by SalvatoreA 

Cover art for I'm Writing a Novel lyrics by Father John Misty

The line, "Something 'bout the way Violet whips her hair That makes me empty my pockets on the corner to corner bumming twenties as if I was the mayor" Is actually incorrect.

It should read... "That makes me empty my pockets, HOLDIN' COURT on the corner BURNING twenties as if I was the mayor"

Great song.
