"Tie Me Down" lyrics

Tie Me Down

I've dodged the flame of love
My heart's been slippery and cold
I always thought I'd walk this path
Least until I was almost old
Those sweet lips and eyes of green
Cut me like a blade of steel
Pull my heart like an eighteen wheel
Running up a Tennessee hill

I was a rolling stone
My feet never touch the ground
She was the only one
That ever could tie me down

Feel like I left behind
Trapped to an angel's wings
Bounded to a new born love
Tied up in the apron strings
I used to live alone
Never needed anyone
And she turned my head around
I didn't even try to run

Yeah, I was rolling stone
My feet never touch the ground
She was the only one
That ever could tie me down

Looking back, I realize
Happy is not what I was
When you run across a woman
It's your true love
That stronger than a moonshine buzz

Yeah, I was rolling stone
My feet never touch the ground
She was the only one
That ever could tie me down

Yeah, I was rolling stone
My feet never touch the ground
She was the only one
That ever could slow me down

Yeah, she was the only one
That ever could tie me down
