Emily’s Heart

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Bottle of wine and old 45s 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" [Chorus] Bruised and bloodied, 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 [Verse 2] She said, get your coat, come on To the dog track with a money wrap 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" (I've become a villain, accused of a hit-and-run) Said, it hit me first and I say it's the worst That I ever felt in a broken heart Said, uh, blood stains on a shirt crease I hope she pays the dues When I left, she said that your last breath Will be down by the station at two So she shot me down [Chorus] Bruised and bloodied, 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 [Verse 3] 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 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" [Chorus] Bruised and bloodied, 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
