Her and I met in native fire Bleach blonde hair and dark green eyes It was bright but it don't burn anymore Nothing'll change come Christmas time You can stay where you want at night Just promise when love comes knockin', you'll answer the door Easy, tiger, don't you cry People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life Don't blame your mother, least we tried People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life The machine beeps less frequently They've gone to find out what that means It was months, now it may only be hours They say, ma'am your son was far from a coward Damn near first one into the tower Come Mother's Day, she'll be bringing him the flowers Easy, tiger, don't you cry People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life A lovely mother left behind People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you Wish that I could tell you why Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm Least you know you love the boy It's why you feel you were destroyed His father applied from the other side of the door Not his area of expertise, no "Plenty of fish" analogies He said, "You'll have to eat eventually, sport" Easy, tiger, don't you cry People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life Another lover you'll come to find People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you That's just the way of life People gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you Wish that I could tell you why Oh, people gonna love you, then they're gonna leave you All the damn time

(Carlene Carter/Susanna Clark) There he goes, gone again This same old story's gotta come to an end Lovin' him was a one way street But I'm getting off where the crossroads meet It's a quarter moon in a ten cent town It's time for me to lay my heartaches down Saturday night I'm 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 from now on Raw as a whip but clean as a bone Soft to the touch when you take me home But when the morning comes and it's time for me to leave Don't worry about me I've 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, easy, easy from now on

There he goes gone again This same old story's gotta come to an end Lovin' him was like a one way street But I'm gettin' off where the crossroads meet. It's a quarter moon in a ten cent town It's time for me to lay my heartaches down Saturday night I'm 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 It's gonna be easy from now on. --- Instrumental --- Raw as a whip but clean as a bone Soft to the touch when you take me home When the morning comes and it's time for me to leave Don't worry 'bout me, I've 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...

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 A quarter moon in a ten cent town It's time for me to lay my heartaches down Saturday night, I wanna 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 And harder to kill the ghost of a no good man And I'll be ridin' high in a fan dangled sky It's gonna be easy, it's gonna be easy from now on Raw as a whit but clean as a bone Soft to the 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 And harder to kill the ghost of a no good man And I'll be ridin' high in a fan dangled sky It's gonna be easy, it's gonna be easy It's gonna be easy from now on, from now on It's gonna be easy It's gonna be easy It's gonna be easy It's gonna be easy, easy It's gonna be easy

Sad summer on the loose Bad luck for me and you 'Nother heavy nightmare to the list of repairs We never made We carry baggage well Nobody heard the hell That's behind the closed doors that we painted because We stayed the same We don't talk like we used to Might hate me now but hear me out Hey, I only wanna know if I should move out or stay Whatever I did, just say what you need to say Nothing is wrong when nobody's earned the blame If this is the end then why do we hesitate? Ooh, ooh Leftover takeaways Piles up around our place We don't ever make time for talking and wine We keep it bottled up So long to something real Tell me, how did we end up here? All the mornings in bed on repeat in my head Is that over now? I don't know how to talk to you, you So I kicked you out Hey, I only wanna know if I should move out or stay Whatever I did, just say what you need to say And nothing is wrong when nobody's earned the blame If this is the end then why do we hesitate? Ooh (why do we hesitate?) If this is the end then why do we hesitate? Ooh, ooh (why do we hesitate?) We don't talk like we used to do Do you feel like a stranger too? Just hear me out Just hear me out Hey, I only wanna know if I should move out or stay Whatever I did, just say what you need to say And nothing is wrong when nobody's earned the blame If this is the end then why do we hesitate? Ooh, ooh (why do we hesitate?) If this is the end then why do we hesitate? Ooh, ooh

Go down Go down Devil's in the details She's out of town My crown My crown Hold it for some champagne Sweet taste in my mouth They don't They don't They don't want a clean slate with dirty shoes They don't They don't They don't lay it on Lay it on Hand me down Hand me down I brought the same flower She threw out Find out Find out Breaking off the shackles By kissing a mouth Lay it on Lay it on Lay it on a clean slate with dirty does Lay it on Lay it on Lay it on Lay it on Lay it on Lay it on Lay it on (Lay it on) Go down Go down The devil's in the details She's out of town

Move like a typhoon, I'm just a flame Smoky by nature, charmingly sane See golden empires, queens burning sage Boys with their desires, hearts in a cage Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't be in love with someone Love with someone else, else Else, else Bury the answers, burn all the proof Fly by my feelings, land on your moon I'm going back home to tell them the news If all is so damn fair why does somebody always lose? Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't be in love with someone Love with someone else, else Else, else "Yes" was the answer, love's not a game If you're a contestant, he was the fame I found a new tone, you left your sage To hell with my desires, they were the cage

Second hand is smoking and I don't even notice Felt like sweater weather, just changing for the better If the honeymoon is over, I don't wanna know this Hate to feel the same Feeling hard to care When the moon's in Aries now Living in repair How could the world just stare us down? Oh, downhill while I'm falling apart On a late night drive when I'm scared of the dark It makes no sense why I cared about you The long nightmare that you don't want to end When it fooled me once, now I call it a friend It makes no sense why I cared about you (Cared about you) ooh (Cared about you) ooh (About you) Somewhere common sense is losing to the army When they don't stick together, I give in to my temper But you broke my nose and I'm the one to say I'm sorry I don't bleed the same For every millionaire Pulling empty stares now Living in repair What the neighbours care about Oh, downhill while I'm falling apart On a late night drive when I'm scared of the dark It makes no sense why I cared about you The long nightmare that you don't want to end When it fooled me once, now I call it a friend It makes no sense why I cared about you (Cared about you) ooh (Cared about you) ooh (About you)

How do you dance to Bossa Nova? Hold hands, but like a friend Like girls do to one another The sentimental things that boys forget Sweet lows and barely ready Life's short I'm heading north I wanted to be A little bit more Someone you see who you adore But happy sleeping on your floor Even if it's lonely Even if it's lonely Warm love, we need warm love I fell in love with making bad decisions I left a mess and made a cleaner living Warm love, we need warm love Even if it's lonely Even if it's lonely Even if it's lonely Warm love, we need warm love It tastes like thinking out loud No sign of souvenirs The gold on your teeth will fall out If you only say the thing they wanna hear I wanted to be More than a phase Part of it all a reason to stay If better is far I'm on my way I fell in love with making bad decisions I left a mess and made a cleaner living Warm love, we need warm love Even if it's lonely Even if it's lonely Even if it's lonely Warm love, we need warm love My mom used to tell me that Because I was the only child She, constantly reminded me that It's better to have one bird in your than a thousand in the woods You're not supposed to have birds in your hand That's not good for the bird, but It's a metaphor for friends And he also told me that Beware of people that say that they know everything about a subject Because, people that think that they know everything Are the ones that know nothing I don't know I haven't talked to anyone today, so I'm ramblling Bye!

Run, runaways Don't make a scene or rub it in my face Like you're dancing on the grave Of hunches that I had and smoked away It's too slow, like novocaine Take me back to when I felt okay We're not the same Build a bridge or burn what's in your way I've seen the way you look at him It's crawling underneath my skin If moving on is the medicine You're all out and I'm all in Go everywhere we used to be I've seen the way you look at him You're all out and I'm all in Hold, hold the phone Months of pacing living rooms alone Magnifying the tone Let go of the reigns and hope they're wrong It sounds like velvet, this old excuse Is one I thought we'd never have to use Know I'm not who you'll choose Two can win then one is bound to lose I've seen the way you look at him It's crawling underneath my skin If moving on is the medicine You're all out and I'm all in Go everywhere we used to be I've seen the way you look at him You're all out and I'm all in
