Emily's Heart

Bottle of wine and an 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 bloody, 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 the money right

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, hit me first and I say it's the worst

That I ever felt in a broken heart

And bloodstains on her shirt crease

And hope she pays the dues

When I left she said that your last breath

Will be down by the station at two

Swear she shot me down

Bruised and bloody, 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 that 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 bloody 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
