she was going down, i was ashin` on her back
(love that girl like she was mine)
i hit back once - open-handed, no excuses
(love that girl like she was mine ...)
now the sunshine won`t look me in the eye no more
but nighttime says it to my face
i was thinkin` to myself
might as well be you
got to burn back the weeds
so i burn back the weeds and cry
need her like a crack-baby, i can see her in the dark
came together so hard we broke both our hearts
now i`m whistling dixie, spittin` teeth
i can`t shed this skin she`s underneath
i was thinkin` to myself
it was always you
got to burn back the weeds
so i burn back the weeds and cry
she says `why`
i`m just not a very nice guy
can`t seem to say good-bye
god knows i try
she was goin` down
i was ashin` on her back
