You got a half-lit cigarette hangin' outta your mouth

There's an emptiness in your eyes that I'd die to tie down

Took one look at your weathered hands, and it tells me that you've been around

You look like a one-way to nowhere, a gift and a curse

The answer to my prayers, my heart in a hearse

But maybe you're heaven-sent, or hell-bent on burnin' me down

There's only one way for me to find out

There's only one way for me to find out

You look like a bad choice, but I can't turn around

Yeah, word travels fast in this shell of a town

And I'm far from the first one to think I could be your ticket out

You look like a one-way to nowhere, a gift and a curse

The answer to my prayers, my heart in a hearse

But maybe you're heaven-sent, or hell-bent on burnin' me down

There's only one way for me to find out

There's only one way for me to find out

Maybe I'm wrong to think it's more than it is

And you're gonna run without a cause, without a kiss

And that smokin' gun

Yeah, it is what it is

But I keep on sayin'

You look like a one-way to nowhere, a gift and a curse

The answer to my prayers, my heart in a hearse

But maybe you're heaven-sent, or hell-bent on burnin' me down

There's only one way for me to find out
