lyrics

Left my dog and my sleeping bride, all my guns in a double wide .
Along a dusty road I ride, headed down toward I-45.

The kids would run from me in fear. Can't blame them if they believe the things they hear. I'll wash you in my tears, let me take the shame away from here  

I've been so ashamed about the things they say. I'll take all the blame just to clear your name. If they come after me I won't say anything. I know you didn't mean for it to end this way.

Like a broken cup, I have given up. Now I'm out of mind. Leave it all behind!
