I met a girl from Brownsville
|
She kamikaze head-turn got me into a frill,
|
I told her about my friends back home
|
What they'd say-
|
|
How she spoke
|
|
Lasting Words in the lasting night
|
And every time I see a boat by a lake
|
I want to jump up and say
|
Let's row away from everything.
|
|
Said she was a cutter
|
And I said my dad's a preacher man.
|
I took her to the boat out down by the lake
|
|
I kindly took her by the hand
|
Just to make her understand
|
I took her to the boat out down by the lake
|
|
And just when everything was said
|
I hugged her hard around her head
|
I told her there are things that we shouldn't say
|
|
Now watch me say them
|
|
I tore her down today
|
|
Everything just goes away
|
But the scars you hide today
|
And you don't want to say
|
Everything just goes away.
