1, 2, 3, 4 |
|
I was a big bad man |
|
I picked at you like cotton candy |
|
I talked my talk, made you feel lucky |
|
And broke your heart when I was ready |
|
Yeah, I was a big bad man |
|
And I strummed my slow sad song |
|
I felt your lashes flutter for me |
|
I let my smile spread out sneaky |
|
My chesire cat act sped your heartbeat |
|
And I strummed my slow sad song |
|
And I made my train wreck mess |
|
I sunk to hell and I dragged you with me |
|
I grieved my way to coke and whiskey |
|
I shamed my father, I scared my family |
|
When I made my train wreck mess |
|
When you'd sleep you sing my name into your pillow |
|
A blue note cast to calm our burning bed |
|
Your helpless heart dreamt my voice rising up to meet you |
|
And held the plain truth hostage in your head |
|
You see I never raised the ransom |
|
And I never argued over terms |
|
I just let you and your song lie there and burn |
|
And now I think long hard thoughts |
|
About the years I can't return you, |
|
The truth, it took too long to tell you |
|
There's no excuse for how I did you |
|
When I think my long hard thoughts, |
|
When I think my long hard thoughts |
