Stampead - My Widow lyrics

rate me

Love songs only bring me down.<br />

As depressing as her wedding gown.<br />

Folded in the corner, with a locket that he bought her,<br />

it feels like he?s still around.<br />

If the sky isn?t blue, I never know what to do,<br />

I always feel the need to leave town.<br />

This years been tough, here in Cedar Neck Bluff,<br />

my front door has got 3 chains.<br />

I worry about this, and I worry about that,<br />

I never get to sing in the rain.<br />

<br />

But there?s always one,<br />

bullet left in the gun.<br />

Oh yes, there?s always one.<br />

<br />

The fortune-teller she was right.<br />

How I wish my heart could change.<br />

It makes me shiver in the night, like a mouse in a fight,<br />

I?m better off trying to love the pain.<br />

So I run up my card, until I fall off the bar,<br />

and my girlfriend starts to feel ashamed.<br />

It ain?t right but in the night, while she sleeps she likes to fight,<br />

and I wake up all black and blue.<br />

She says to tie her up, I say don?t worry love,<br />

I was born restless too.<br />

<br />

And there?s always one,<br />

bullet left in the gun.<br />

Oh yes, there?s always one,<br />

bullet left in the gun.<br />

Oh yes, there?s always one.<br />

<br />

I?m sorry to say, that I?m no help.<br />

I?m sorry to say, he is gone.<br />

I?m sorry to say, you?ve lost me too.<br />

<br />

Now she?s getting ready to go.<br />

Holding a letter and a long stem rose.<br />

I zip her dress in the back, as she paints her eyes black,<br />

wipes the lipstick from her teeth real slow.<br />

She always comes back a mess, with mascara on her dress,<br />

and all the grace of a new widow.<br />

If I give a little, give a little, give a little more,<br />

can I ever make her feel the same?<br />

She worries about this, and she worries about that,<br />

before the war she used to sing in the rain.<br />

<br />

But there?s always one,<br />

bullet left in the gun.<br />

Oh yes, there?s always one,<br />

bullet left in the gun.<br />

Oh yes, there?s always one<br />

<br />
