There was a girl from Tennessee Brought the fires of Hell on me She brought a long line of hurt and a world of trouble Every door became one more wall Goddamn, you know I gave her my all Oh, I tried and I tried, but couldn't stop lovin' her Some people take it for a ride Let it rust outside like a broke-down Chevrolet Some people keep it inside Goin' out of their mind like they're high on cocaine Oh, I wish it wouldn't just go Throwin' it around like it's fool's gold Oh, there ain't no slowin' me down I wear mine on my sleeve Sleeve She drove me out of state and out of mind And I searched for her in those West Coast nights In every little smile and stranger passing through I still see her now and then in my dreams It's like she's still callin' out to me But I know that she's far gone Oh, oh Some people take it for a ride Let it rust outside like a broke-down Chevrolet Some people keep it inside Goin' out of their mind like they're high on cocaine Oh, I wish it wouldn't just go Throwin' it around like it's fool's gold Oh, there ain't no slowin' me down I wear mine on my sleeve Sleeve I was as blue as those cop car lights Innocent in that cell that night She broke me down to pieces She broke me down to pieces I'm still pickin' up the pieces But at least it's still beatin' Some people take it for a ride Let it rust outside like a broke-down Chevrolet Some people keep it inside Goin' out of their mind like they're high on cocaine Oh, I wish it wouldn't just go Throwin' it around like it's fool's gold Oh, there ain't no slowin' me down I wear mine on my sleeve Sleeve Sleeve
