Dead Set on You

I was staring down a dream

I was trying not to fail

I was on the outside I had a friend in jail

Love was on time but I was running late

I was headed south across the Golden Gate

It was you and me baby and Pretty Boy Floyd

It was us against the world trying to fill that void

It’s a miracle we made it but i’d do it all again

We were just a couple fools rushing in

I was gonna stick it out through thick and thin

You were “Red” and I was black and blue

Dead set on you, dead set on you, I had my mind made up and my heart dead set on you

To Kill a Mockingbird in Nashville Tennessee

Out of the corner my eye, you were looking sideways at me

There was no turning back, there was no giving up

When we lost that first child and I had to sober up

Another day in this life felt just like suicide

Trapped between the false and true

Dead set on you, dead set on you I had my mind made up and my heart dead set on you

Dead set on you, dead set on you I had my mind made up and my heart dead set on you

We’ve come along way since those two runaway kids

Sometimes looking back I can’t believe what we did

Neither one of us ever really liked doing what we’re told

Felt like purgatory but we were spinning gold

I was trying to break what you were trying to fix

Hit me hard and had me on the bricks

Dead set on you, dead set on you I had my mind made up and my heart dead set on you

Dead set on you, dead set on you I had my mind made up and my heart dead set on you

I had my mind made up and my heart dead set on you
