lyrics

Give me heart to anyone if they understood
How to keep me from fallin’ for that honky-tonk girl
But it might be the way I am or it might be the world
I don’t know

Chorus
It gets harder everyday on that train
Ninety miles an hour in a locked down cage
Thought I was sittin’ on Jesus’ knee
But it was just a warm barstool and a honky-tonk queen

I can be a devil or a saint
When you’re down here trying to fool someone into thinkin’ you’re somethin’ you ain’t
So won’t you be good Tanya told you I am not that strong
To watch you walk in here all alone, you got your pretty little red dress on
Just for me
