Lyrics

You met her in a bar. That much I understand.
She took the diamond off her finger but she’s promised to another man.
And we’ve been a friends a long long while and you have done some wrong,
But this time you test my nerve, a nerve that ain’t that strong.

I know that it’s her fault, as much or more than yours.
I know that in a place like this you don’t expect to find closed doors.
But there’s a guy alone tonight, who thinks she’s being true.
And she just threw it all away for a single night with you.

And if she were mine, and you were chasing her tail,
I’d fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails.

And if I tracked the two of you and found you lying in her bed,
And I know the lies you’d tell to get inside her head.
You wouldn’t hear me talking then, you’d only see a flash,
You’d feel the sting of rock salt and nails in your flesh.

And if she were mine, and you were chasing her tail,
I’d fill up my shotgun with rock salt and nails,
Rock salt and nails, a handful of change and nails.
