Love Song 8

She was going down, i was ashin' on her back

(love that girl like she was mine)

I hit back once - open-handed, no excuses

(love that girl like she was mine ...)

Now the sunshine won't look me in the eye no more

But nighttime says it to my face

I was thinkin' to myself

Might as well be you

Got to burn back the weeds

So i burn back the weeds and cry

Need her like a crack-baby, i can see her in the dark

Came together so hard we broke both our hearts

Now i'm whistling dixie, spittin' teeth

I can't she'd this skin she's underneath

I was thinkin' to myself

It was always you

Got to burn back the weeds

So i burn back the weeds and cry

She says 'why'

I'm just not a very nice guy

Can't seem to say good-bye

God knows i try

She was goin' down

I was ashin' on her back
