Emily's Heart

Bottle of wine and old 45

Rifle in the corner that her grandfather left her when he died

Said, "No surprise, I've had to use it quite a few times

So Jay, don't you ever let us down, don't you ever

I'll have to shoot you and no one will hear a sound"

Bruised and bloodied, I'm lying on the ground

And I am aware that I let the poor girl down

Now I'm dying as a message to the town

This what happens if you fuck around

And meddle if you want trouble

Trouble, then you should meddle

But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart

She said, get your coat, come on

To the dog track with a money wrap

Yeah, we had some fun, left with more 'cause we won

I was under investigation on suspicion of doing her wrong

She said, "You've become a villain, accused of a hit and run"

Said she hit me first and I say it's the worst

That I ever felt in a broken heart

So with bloodstains on a shirt crease, I hope she pays the dues

When I left, she said that your last breath

Will be down by the station at two

So she shot me down

Bruised and bloodied, I'm lying on the ground

And I am aware that I let the poor girl down

Now I'm dying as a message to the town

This is what happens if you fuck around

So meddle if you want trouble

Trouble, then you should meddle

But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart

She said, "I'm a user and she's a loser with a gun"

I said, "If you choose to, it becomes hard to include anyone"

So if you stay, put it away or should I run?

She said, "I think you know the answer to your question"

So for the smiles and all of the miles the engine's done

The further I drive away, the closer we become

So if I stay, would you put it away and forgive this one son?

She said, "Jay, I think you know the answer to your question"

Bruised and bloodied, I'm lying on the ground

And I am aware that I let the poor girl down

Now I'm dying as a message to the town

This what happens if you fuck around

So meddle if you want trouble

Trouble, then you should meddle

But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart
