Spent my days a renegade

A lonely man can’t make it living when

Misery is all he’s ever made

Lived but had been better dead

Right before a woman came and

Saved the so called life I never had

And only she knew

Deep down who

I really was

A few years we had

Free at last

Ran out and then

Came to an end

Born in a hole, and down I fell

Until I had your hand to hold and

Lips to bid this gruesome pain farewell

Had made one too many enemies

That wished to settle their distant memories

They couldn’t just wait to take you away from me

Living here, been living hell

Ever since you went away

A cage the walls, I want to tear them down

Cause this house ain’t no home without you

Going mad, I even shot the dog

But the poor old boy could barely even walk

Jealous I am, he rests his head

Tucked in tight beneath your garden bed

The bastard got his eye for eye

When he snuck up to the bed you lay

And avenged his only daughter and his wife

And then there was this one night

A couple weeks before he came for you

I remember us naked in the cold sand

Side by side, hand in hand

I remember not being able to tell where

The boundaries of my body ended or where yours began

But then again, I still can’t

And you forgave the bloodshed

How can I forgive myself for

Leaving you to die alone in our bed

Cause living here been living hell

Ever since you went away

I’m locking the door and I’m hitting the road now

This house ain’t no home without you

The sun falls bright on highway lines

I see a glimpse of your eyes in the sky as it fades

Came the dark, he brought the night

But I step the gas to make the horizon line

No other place I’d rather be

Than bound for you my Cassidy

To burning heat and fiery red

I’d be happy now even if I was dead
