lyrics

It was a hot, hot summer and it started with another
Pretty little girl who wouldn’t listen to her mother
She met a boy, he said let’s play a game
And his words were wine and his eyes were flames

Heart on a leash, she had no shame
She followed him to the meadow, there was no one to blame
Then she fell back in the clover and the devil fucked her over
And she’s never really been the same

Oooh she went down
She’ll never fix her mistake
Memories no drink can drown
And a heart no man can break

Now she’s a beautiful woman, sans merci
I’d write her ten thousand songs, she wouldn’t care in the least
Blessed by her love but cursed when she leaves
Me crying alone, a broken heart full of dreams

Oooh we went down
It all went up in smoke
We got memories no drink can drown
And a heart that woman broke

When she dies, my heartbreak is off the map
You can bury her in satin and a baseball cap
Sweating by her grave, its too hot to wear black
But I wanna throw some dirt to know she’s not coming back

She warned me not to fall in love
She would spare a crow to shoot a flock of doves
She smiles like a queen, makes love like a god
Her absence is a knife and her presence is a firing squad
