lyrics

She was just barely legal in Ohio
But old enough to do most anything in Mexico
That’s when I saw her hanging on this guy I know
She should have seen this comin’ then

He wasn’t the best looking guy in town
Even so you could tell he really got around
The kind on man you could count on to let you do
She seemed to like those kinds on men

He said he’d really like to take her home
But he’d rather take her somewhere they could be alone
With a smile he stepped away to use the phone
She closed her eyes and tried hard to pretend

Cause, he had a heart as dark as room 10
Motel 6, 3 am
On a moonless night Orlinda TN
It can be easy to close your eyes
Shut your mouth and live the lies
And hold inside the pain that’s plain to see

They walked a crooked line to the car that night
And they parked a crooked car beneath the neon lights
Some times it just feels good to be held so tight
With every care a million miles away

It seems to me she’d been in this spot yesterday
But she told herself that this time it wouldn’t be that way
Who was wrong who was right well who’s to say
In your both willing to pay the price you pay

She woke up on strange sheets alone again
And she couldn’t really remember where she’d been
At least that’s what she’ll say when she tells her friends
Cause she hates it when they look at her that way

But somehow they still found time to do acoustic gigs. In 2009, the pair resolved to celebrate their 15th year together by adding Sean Rhiney and Bill Donabedian as their backing band and turn up the volume. ... more
