lyrics

I finished off a crowd of townies, deep in Handcuff County -
I used to live a mile on up the road.
The road that took my far enough, where I forgot that our handcuffs were whores - They get around around here.
The reverb was intoxicating and the beer was cold.
I’d been sweating bullets like a man on death row -
Slinging songs in the summertime sun and swearing they were true. But they weren’t true. No, they weren’t true.
And no one knew - no one but you.
Flowers bloom in springtime - by the summer they’re on fire. Spreading out their petals - all easy on the eyes.
I’m a lover, not a fighter. These days - I choose “flight”.
So I was flying on a country road. I was high and all alone. It felt like dying when the sirens start’d crying.
But they weren’t true. No, they weren’t true. And no one knew - no one but you.
The truth hits hard - a hero ain’t a hero without a foil.
I’ll spin this yarn - a heart that’s tuggin’ on your sleeve is a bit between your teeth.
