[Verse 1]
I've dodged the flame of love, my heart's been slippery and cold
I always thought I'd walk this path, at least until I was almost old
Those sweet lips and eyes of green cut me like a blade of steel
Pull my heart like an eighteen wheel running up a Tennessee hill
[Chorus]
I was a rolling stone, my feet never touch the ground
She was the only one that ever could tie me down
[Verse 2]
Feel like I left behind, trapped to an angel's wings
Bounded to a new born love, tied up in the apron strings
I used to live alone, never needed anyone
And she turned my head around, I didn't even try to run
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Looking back, I realize happy is not what I was
When you run across a woman
It's your true love that stronger than a moonshine buzz
[Chorus][x3]
