Held Up By A Woman

Shelby Bottom Park

It's starting to rain

Soft like static

Or 35 millimeter grain

It's Nashville in June

I should have known

I should've known so many things

By now

But I don't

Am I the only one seeing this

True love and happiness

Too bad I looked too late

Now we're strangers

Living in a stranger place

I'm seeing the world

through a new prescription

But I got the same underlying condition

I've been held

Held up by a woman

I've been held

Held up by a woman

Barely making rent

Every dollar spent

A stark reminder

That I'm not ready yet

I'm too broke to date

And I'm too desperate to wait

Was that you walking down Gallatin Avenue

Yesterday?

And I've been held

Held up by a woman

And I've been held

Held up by a woman

I'm seeing the world

through a new prescription

But I got the same underlying condition

And I've been held

Held up by a woman

And I've been held

Held up by a woman

And I've been held

Held up by a woman

Yeah I've been held

Held up by a woman

And I've been held

Held up by a woman
