Tie Me Down

I've dodged the flame of love

My heart's been slippery and cold

I always thought I'd walk this path

At least until I was almost old

Those sweet lips

And eyes of green

Cut me like a blade of steel

Pull my heart

Like an eighteen wheel

Running up a Tennessee hill

I was a rolling stone

My feet never touched the ground

She was the only one

That ever could tie me down

Free life

I left behind

Strapped it to an angel's wings

Bounded to a new born love

Tied up in her apron strings

I used to live alone

I never needed anyone

And she turned my head around

I didn't even try to run

Yeah, I was a rolling stone

My feet never touched the ground

She was the only one

That ever could tie me down

Looking back I realize

Happy's not what I was

When you run across a woman

That's your true love

It's stronger than a moonshine buzz

Yeah, I was a rolling stone

My feet never touched the ground

She was the only one

That ever could tie me down

Yeah, I was a rolling stone

My feet never touched the ground

She was the only one

That ever could slow me down

Yeah, she was the only one

That ever could tie me

Down
