Graveblankets - Knoxville Girl lyrics

rate me

I met her at a WALMART

She was tryin' to find a spare part

And I thought I could help find it

She said she just moved into town

With a smile that turned into a frown

And she grabbed my hand and held on too tight

KNOXVILLE GIRL

She said she was a Kentucky girl

Who wanted to see more of the world

And there was desperation in her eyes

I asked if I could drive her home

Cause her car broke down she was all alone

But she said she didn't have a place to stay

KNOXVILLE GIRL

She moved in with me

And we were both so happy

Until the day I happened upon the news

That told of the Knoxville murder armed robbery

She needed me for cover

So she acted like my lover

But I knew she'd soon be through with me

I confronted her with the facts

The smile on her face, well it fell like an axe

And that's when the bullets began to fly

KNOXVILLE GIRL
