Loveless

(album: King Of Dixie - 2017)

We used to lock ourselves in your room
Burning incense to cover up the smell
Of the marijuana
From your mama
You had me burning up every back road
Feeding my gas tank every last one
Of my dollars
And I wasn't bothered
Then miles on that 351
Added up to a million crazy nights of fun
We were out of control and going out
In flames of glory

And now you're like goddamn
Now he's riding round with the top down
Made a big name in a small town
Now he's got another girl's hands on his now
Hotdamn
Now he's riding round with top down
Made a big name in a small town
Now he's got another girl's hands on his now

Love ain't always pleasing
Love can be deceiving
You give your heart and then they let it go
But it's something you believe in
You know that feeling
When you just let it take control, oh

I'm just trying to do my thing, not everybody else's
I let people go out my life 'cause they was holding me back, and...
I feel kinda bad but then again I tend to forget
That they was the ones letting me down when I wasn't up at my best
I've had girlfriends say they won't leave, had friends with knives up in my back
Had people make me promises, they didn't follow through with that
Got people hitting my life for reasons involving this money
Goddamn it I'll empty my pockets, what the fuck you want from me?
They say everybody wanna be famous, everybody wanna find love
But when you put that shit together get ready for the teeth to show
When that red dot's blinking good luck being yourself
I get anxiety at these labels in Nashville myself
And I'll be sitting at a meeting till the business talk is faded
Just wishing I could be with you with a day well wasted
But these sold out shows are calling my name and they wanting the encore
but all I want is you laughing, dropping the joint in the floorboard

And now you're like goddamn
Now he's riding round with the top down
Made a big name in a small town
Now he's got another girl's hands on his now
Hotdamn
Now he's riding round with top down
Made a big name in a small town
Now he's got another girl's hands on his now

Love ain't always pleasing
Love can be deceiving
You give your heart and then they let it go
But it's something you believe in
You know that feeling
When you just let it take control, oh

It's kinda like fire and ice
Upchurch and Robert James fucking dynamite
Every minute that we write is an image we bring to life
Trying to make it about the shadows all we got is candle light
Yeah we're freaky like Houdini coming out at night
Yeah, we're sneaky, still you love it, make it a drug you like, baby
You're fresher that the harvest
You walk by, my head spinning, getting nauseous
I'm on cloud 9 so high I start coughing
Tether or a promise, more silent than the motherfucking ground
So stand on it, be the target
Be the smartest, I love you baby since the day we started

Love ain't always pleasing
Love can be deceiving
You give your heart and then they let it go
But it's something you believe in
You know that feeling
When you just let it take control, oh

We used to lock ourselves in your room
Burning incense to cover up the smell
Of the marijuana
From your mama
You had me burning up every back road
Feeding my gas tank every last one
Of my dollars
But I wasn't bothered
Then miles on that 351
Added up to a million crazy nights of fun
We were out of control and going out
In flames of glory

And now you're like goddamn
Now he's riding round with the top down
Made a big name in a small town
Now he's got another girl's hands on his now
Hotdamn
Now he's riding round with top down
Made a big name in a small town
Now he's got another girl's hands on his now

Love ain't always pleasing
Love can be deceiving
You gave your heart and then they let it go
But it's something you believe in
You know that feeling
When you just let it take control, oh
