Lyrics

Here I sit with my guitar
The very one you gave
And I ain't comin' to the show
I'm done with being brave
I get a bad reception
Every time I get you near
And though the line was dying
I get the message loud and clear
It takes a while to hang it up
Although I love the ring
And even though I nearly lost it
I will keep on singing
Cause a bad rejection
Makes a woman of a child
And when your confidence is dying
There's more reason to be wild
To be wild, to be wild
Well don't mistake my horns for halos
Just because I loved you like a child
And it's no joke to be the one
Left thumbing for a ride
Who tries to smile with all the ones
Who cheer now at your side
I get a bad reception
But I used to get so near
And though our love went mild
I still remember us so wild
