County road 233, under my feet
Nothin' on this white rock but little ole me
I've got two miles till, he makes bail
And if I'm right we're headed straight for hell
Chorus:
I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slap my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of
Gunpowder and lead
It's half past ten, another six pack in
And I can feel the rumble like a cold black wind
He pulls in the drive, the gravel flies
He dont know what's waiting here this time
I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slap my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of
Gunpowder and lead
His fist is big but my gun's bigger
He'll find out when I pull the trigger
I'm goin' home, gonna load my shotgun
Wait by the door and light a cigarette
If he wants a fight well now he's got one
And he ain't seen me crazy yet
He slap my face and he shook me like a rag doll
Don't that sound like a real man
I'm going to show him what a little girls made of
Gunpowder and lead

Well the road was hot and flat as a ruler
Good hundred miles between me and Medulla
That violet top wasn't gettin' no cooler
I stopped at a quickie sack
Well I figured I'd need about a sixth of Miller
And one of those things so I wouldn't spill 'er
I asked the girl if the beer was in the back
She said
It's a dry town
No beer, no liquor for miles around
I'd give a nickel for a sip or two
To wash me down
Outta this dry town
So I turn right around, no hesitation
Cursed the law for ruinin' the nation
Waved goodbye to the boy at the station
But she wouldn't go in gear
He said it sounds like your transmission
You need Bob, but he's gone fishin'
His day off, he gets a long way from here
Cause
It's a dry town
No beer, no liquor for miles around
I'd give a nickel for a sip or two
To wash me down
Outta this dry town
Well if I call a friend you can get a dose of
Something strong from your local grocer
So I walked down til I got a little closer
To a place called Happy Jars
He said I keep something here for colds and fevers
Down underneath where I usual leave her
Just last night I felt a cold comin on
It's a dry town
No beer, no liquor for miles around
I'd give a nickel for a sip or two
To wash me down
Outta this dry town

They say life is so much sweeter
Through the telephoto lens of fame
Around here you get just as much attention
Cheerin' at the high school football game
I dreamed of going to Nashville
Put my money down and placed my bet
But I just got the first buck of the season
I made the front page of the Turnertown Gazette
Every last one, route one, rural hearts got a story to tell
Every grandma, in law, ex girlfriend
Maybe knows us just a little too well
Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail
Hey words gonna get around
Everybody dies famous in a small town
Tyler and Casey broke up
It ended pretty quietly
We heard he was caught red-handed with her mama
That's just what they let us all believe
Every last one, route one, rural hearts got a story to tell
Every grandma, in law, ex girlfriend
Maybe knows us just a little too well
Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail
Hey words gonna get around
Everybody dies famous in a small town
Baby who
Needs their faces in a magazine
Me and you
We've been stars of the town since we were 17
Let's go on down to the quick stop
Wear your yellow shades
And I'll put on my tight jeans
And we'll just spend the weekend burnin' rubber
And we'll let em point and stare distantly
Every last one, route one, rural hearts got a story to tell
Every grandma, in law, ex girlfriend
Maybe knows us just a little too well
Whether you're late for church or you're stuck in jail
Hey words gonna get around
Everybody dies famous in a small town

Well It took me 5 bars saw 30 license plates
I saw her mustang
And my eyes filled up with rage
I brought my pistol but I ain't some kinda fool
So I walked right in barehanded
She was on his arm while he was playing pool
Just like I used to do
She kissed him while I got a beer
She didn't think I'd show up here
I'm a crazy ex girlfriend
I watched her for awhile but I didn't like her walk
She came across kinda cheap to me
But hey hows that my fault
She looked at my man like he didn't have on a stitch
Somebody tell that girl
To step up to the plate
I wanna Pitch
Little Bitch
Well those pretty girls can play their game
But their damn well gonna know my name
I'm a crazy ex-girlfriend
Well I started throwing things and
I scared folks half to death
I got up in his face and smelled whiskey on his breath
I Didn't give it a second thought to being thrown in jail
Well baby to a hammer everything looks like a nail
And I was mad as hell
Well those pretty girls they're all the same
But they're damn well gonna know my name
I'm a crazy Ex-Girlfriend
I'm a crazy Ex-Girlfriend
I'm a crazy Ex-Girlfriend
I'm a crazy Ex-Girlfriend

Love letters on wet paper
For givrers and no takers
An angel who never got wings
You find jesus and it's too late
He's already closed the front gate
And the sign says no vacancy
He's broken my heart for the last time
You promise the truth and you told lies
You really made me believe that love was supposed to be free
(Chorus)
Love letters on wet paper
For givers and no takers
An angel who never got wins
They find jesus and it's too late he's already closed the front gate
And the sign says no vacancy
I never forget how he used to be
But i'm better off living with memories
I know that it's gonna hurt but I don't think it gets any worse
Chorus

Throw a dog a bone, I'll take it if I have to
Go real fast like there's somewhere we can get to
What's the use of standing right on the edge if there's no where to fall
What's the use of holdin' on tight to the phone if nobody might call
Desperation
There's danger in frustration
Complicated words slippin' off of your tounge and ain't one of them the truth
I'm still desperate for you
Tell it like a lie, live it like a movie
Give a heart away like it don't mean nothin' to me
What's the use of making all the plans that we made if you weren't gonna go
What's the use of slapping on a smile for a face if your eyes don't wanna show
Desperation
There's danger in frustration
Complicated words slippin' off of your tounge and ain't one of them the truth
I'm still desperate for you
Well it's too damn bad you didn't have a chance to make me your best friend
You were too caught up in giving too much up and not doing what you should have been
Desperation
There's danger in frustration
Complicated words slippin' off of your tounge and ain't one of them the truth
I'm still desperate for you

She's beautiful in her simple little way
She don't have too much to say when she gets mad
She understands she don't let go of anything
Even when the pain gets really bad
Guess I should've been more like that
You had it all for a pretty little while
And some how you made me smile when I was sad
You took a chance on a bruised and beaten heart
Then you realized you wanted what you had
I guess I should've been more like that
I should have held on to my pride
I should have never let you lie
I guess you got what you deserverd
I guess I should've been more like her
Forgiving you, she's stronger than I am
You don't look much like a man from where I'm at
It's plain to see desperatino showed it's truth
You love her and she loves you with all she has
I guess I should've been more like that
I should have held on to my pride
I should have never let you lie
I guess you got what you deserverd
I guess I should've been more like her
She's beautiful in her simple, little way

Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's what I'm breakin'
Strong man lived like a jackson hole
Took my heart and broke my sole
Left a dark place in my chest
I sleep but I don't rest
I sleep but I don't rest
Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's what I'm breakin'
Met a boy in Baton Rouge
Eyes were clear and his heart was true
Made the boy's heart scream my name
But he didn't know the game
But he didn't know the game
Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's what I'm breakin'
You don't want to be standin' there
When the storm hits you won't have a prayer
My wind will blow you to your knee
Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's what I'm breakin'
. . .

God knows I tried everything I could
To stay inside tonight
But that boy's like a sore in your mouth
That you just have to fight
This number one is shakin' hands
With numbers two and three
Is it guilty in here or is it just me
I made a point of not mixin'
Love and pleasure in my life
Daytime boys and nightime boys
Usually don't see eye to ete
But I've been on a (???)
And they're all on their knees
Is it guilty in here or is just me
What became of all the boys
Who only want one thing
Will someone tell me what I'm doin' wrong
'Cause the good ones all got wedding rings
And the young ones are just too dumb
I don't think I have any more
Room underneath my thumb
Maybe after all the ends do justify the means
Is it guilty in here or is it just me
Chorus
'Cause the good ones all got wedding rings
And the young ones are just too dumb
I don't think I have any more
Room underneath my thumb
Maybe after all the ends do justify the means
Is it guilty in here or is it just me
Is it guilty in here, maybe it's just me

Oh baby, I'm gettin' ready
I'm gettin' ready to let you go
My hands are shakin' my hearts unscathed
Oh how I was a lucky soul
I know all the magic's gone
Wish I had a magic wand
I would put a spell on you
You would see it as I do
Oh wo oh wo oh wo oh
I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh wo oh wo wo oh wo oh
I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh baby you're my ??
I was just your cigarette
I was nothing you could be proud of
I have lost my self respect
My self respect, self respect
I have lost my self respect
Oh wo oh wo wo oh wo oh
I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh wo oh wo wo oh wo oh
I'm getting ready to let you go
Oh baby, baby I got no traction
I've been waiting and waiting and waiting for your reaction
So I tried a new direction
I'm gonna get my self a resurrection
I'm getting ready, I'm getting ready,
I'm getting ready to let you go
I'm getting ready, I'm getting ready,
I'm getting ready to let you go
Let you go

There he goes gone again
Same old story's gotta come to an end
Lovin' him was a one way street
But I'm gettin' off where the crossroads meet
It's a quarter moon in a ten cent town
Time for me to lay my heartaches down
Saturday night gonna make myself a name
Take a month of sundays to try and explain
It's gonna be easy to fill
The heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky
It's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy from now on
Raw as whip but clean as a bone
Soft to touch when you take me home
When the mornin' comes and it's time for me to leave
Don't worry 'bout me, I got a wild card up my sleeve
It's gonna be easy to fill
The heart of a thirsty woman
Harder to kill the ghost of a no good man
And I'll be ridin' high in a fandangled sky
It's gonna be easy, It's gonna be easy
It's gonna be easy from now on
. . .

You don't need a girl like me
I've got bruises you can't see
And when the lights go out
I won't be around
You don't need a girl like me
You can't have a heart like mine
But you can hold it for a while
and when the lights go out
I won't be around
You can't have a heart like mine
There's a rule that goes unwritten
And I break it from time to time
If you're fool enough to listen
Then I'm fool enough to lie
That's the kind of girl I am
I take off before I land
And even though you think you can
You can't change the way I am
Cause the rule remains unwritten
I still break it from time to time
If you're fool enough to listen
Then I'm fool enough to lie
You can't change the way I am
You don't need a girl like me
. . .

These are the last words that I'll say to you
You know damn well what brought it on
I can't believe I've been a silly fool
To let it go on this long
You never let life get you down
'Cause every single time
You take it out on me
You kick and scream your dyin' love for me
Well, you don't win love in a fight
The place you really need some victory
Is by yourself alone at night
I left my picture on the bed
So someone could be right
Take it out on me
Take it out on me
Or better still, you could take it out on the passenger seat
Where I used to be
I'm washing my hands clean
'Cause that's what you need
Take it out on me
You treated me like I was second hand
Somehow I always caught the blame
You'll never guess what I've been catchin' now
A better man with a better name
You're left out in the rain again
You can walk home in my shoes
Take it out on me
Ooh, take it out on me
Or better still, you could take it out on the passenger seat
Where I used to be
I'm washing my hands clean
'Cause that's what you need
Take it out on me
Ooh, take it out on me
Or better still, you could take it out on the passenger seat
Where I used to be
I'm washing my hands clean
'Cause that's what you need
Take it out on me
Take it out on me

There's a dark cloud hanging over my heart
I can't see where it ends, or where it starts.
I should get over you, but baby, it's so hard,
with this dark cloud hanging over my heart.
There's a sad song ringing in my head.
Baby, it's been here ever since you left.
I should be moving along how far would I get
with this sad song ringing in my head.
Chorus:
I just really miss you, I just really miss you,
There's a life I can't ask you to leave.
I just really miss you, right now I kinda want to.
The closest that you'll ever be to me
is free.
There's a hard wind blowing through this town.
And nothing left to hold is pushing me down.
It blows over you and me without a sound.
There's a hard wind blowing through this town.
Chorus:
I just really miss you, I just really miss you,
There's a life I can't ask you to leave.
I just really miss you, right now I kinda need to.
The closest that you'll ever be to me
is free.
Now it's one more night at the upside down,
it's ten steps in, and hundred miles back out.
Chorus:
I just really miss you, I just really miss you,
There's a life I can't ask you to leave.
I just really miss you, right now I kinda need to.
The closest that you'll ever be to me
is free.
There's a dark cloud hanging over my heart...
