Scratched a heart on your door. Then I showed myself outside. Lashed my soul 'cross this twin-v horse. And rode off in the night. Guess you noticed I'm gone.
On a windin' dirt back road. In the hills of Arkansas. In a little country farmhouse. With his mama and his pa. Lived a plain old plough boy. By the name of Colton Mall.
I been feelin' very weak. I been turnin' pretty pale. First I'm fallin' to my knees. Then I'm hangin' by my tail. Asked the doctor for some medicine. He said there's nothin' we can do.
Ain't it sad Johnny had another accident. Down some steps and landed on a lit cigarette. Must have made daddy madder than he thought he had. So his little mind becomes a bomb that ain't exploded yet.
Mama used to tell me tales. 'Bout a part of town. Where people cry the blues. Most everyday. She said don't go down there boy.. You know, love will cut you down.
