lyrics

Hid myself where I couldn’t be found
kept my head high, my pride locked underground

Your eyes that shined like neon lights…

They stared at your gambling hands
You rolled the dice well, you won, my friend

There’s nothings else we wanted to be
Than lovers in this land of free…

Well it’s so much easier to say “I love you”
Stuck between empty pockets and a broken nose

We were the next Johnny and June
But Cash had money for his honeymoon

Let’s drive until the next dead end…

‘Keep wearing these glasses you gave me
But Pink always looked prettier on you

And here in Brownsville
Things get clear
Green clouds are feeding all our fears

Well it’s so much easier to say “I love you”
Stuck between empty pockets and a broken nose

Is this love a losing game
Or a sorry dual with so little to gain?
As the wind blew the dirt
I held the gun but you shot first :

“Nah you’ve never had me
In this mirage where the sun revolves around you”

“I don’t need no pity, honey
Cause money will free me more than you do”

Well it’s so much easier to say “I love you”
Stuck between empty pockets and a broken nose
Stuck between how you wanted it and how the story goes…
