Come On Shorty

(album: On The Widow's Walk - 2020)

Falling on a dark heart
Tugging at the strings
Looking for the cure, after the sting
The hole is an empty one
No hope and no joy, no fun
Endless pain that heartache brings

Whoa, come on shorty
Why did you kick my heart in?
Why didn't you leave before you started something new?
I'm gonna ride my horse into the setting sun
Well I want a happy ending, want to get me one
Find a heart that bleeds strong and true
So I can finally say we're through

Staring out the window
Thinking that there must have been more
Trying to see the colors in the grays
Reaching for the bottom
In the bottle, in the beer, in the blaze
Burning my nights, wasting my days

Whoa, I said a
Whoa, come on shorty
Why did you kick my heart in?
Why didn't you leave before you started something new?
I'm gonna ride my horse into the setting sun
Well I want a happy ending, want to get me one
Find a heart that bleeds strong and true
So I can finally say we're through

Oh, roll the credits, last call, we're done
Or maybe this movie has only just begun

Whoa, come on shorty
Why did you kick my heart in?
Why didn't you leave before you started something new?
I'm gonna ride my horse into the setting sun
Well I want a happy ending, want to get me one
Find a heart that bleeds strong and true
I said a whoa, come on shorty
Why did you kick my heart in?
Why didn't you leave before you started something new?
And I'm gonna ride my horse into the setting sun
Well I want a happy ending, want to get me one
Find a heart that bleeds strong and true
So I can finally say fuck you
