Lyrics

[Verse 1]
She was doing 60 in a 35
I hit the lights and pulled her over
When I reached the window of the driver side
There was blood from her mouth
Dry on her shoulder
[Verse 2]
I've never had much patience for guys that hit
For more than just obvious reasons
I asked if she wanted me to take him in
She laughed it off like lemonade
[Verse 3]
When you're in love
You can be blinded by your own heart
You'll bend your own truth
So twisted up you could justify sin
[Verse 4]
And when people in love
Are desperate enough
To abandon their dreams
People do desperate things
[Verse 5]
I've been taking lunch breaks at her work
When the restaurant ain't too crowded
She knows me and my wife got a little girl
We don't talk too much about it
[Verse 6]
The other night she met me way out west
Things went further than they should have
When she undid the buttons of her dress
I didn't stop her, but I could have
[Verse 7]
When you're in love
You can be blinded by your own heart
You'll bend your own truth
So twisted up you could justify sin
[Verse 8]
But when people in love
Are desperate enough
To abandon their dreams
People do desperate things
[Verse 9]
I know where he drinks most every night
It's our local hero sports bar
I've got him cuffed and sweating cold
In the back of my patrol car
[Verse 10]
You forget how dark the canyon gets
It's a real uneasy feeling
I've never had much patience for guys who hit
For more than just obvious reasons
[Verse 11]
When you're in love
You can be blinded by your own heart
You'll bend your own truth
So twisted up you could justify sin
[Verse 12]
But when people in love
Are desperate enough
To abandon their dreams
People do desperate things
