The Fair and Dark Haired Lad

Had my first drink before I could drive

Mama left it on the counter half-full one night

Felt the fire in my chest, shook the hand

Of the fair and dark haired lad

He crept through the boards, hid behind the door

Now he ain't got a reason to hide no more

Took the seat at the table that my daddy once had

The fair and dark haired lad

He's got no hands, but I'm in his grip

His burning kiss lands on my lips

It lingers like a love gone bad

The fair and dark haired lad

He's got no voice but he calls my name

I feel his blood running through my veins

His laughter howls like a dog gone mad

The fair and dark haired lad

I look in the mirror, I see him there

Bloodshot eyes and a vacant stare

He took everything I ever had

The fair and dark haired lad

Turn the engine over, roll the windows down

Left a note to tell 'em where I'm bound

I say goodbye, tip my hat

To the fair and dark haired lad

The fair and dark haired lad
