I was staring down a dream
I was trying not to fail
I was on the outside I had a friend in jail
Love was on time but I was running late
I was headed south across the Golden Gate
It was you and me baby and Pretty Boy Floyd
It was us against the world trying to fill that void
It's a miracle we made it but i'd do it all again
We were just a couple fools rushing in
I was gonna stick it out through thick and thin
You were "Red" and I was black and blue
Dead set on you, dead set on you, I had my mind made up and my heart dead set on you
To Kill a Mockingbird in Nashville Tennessee
Out of the corner my eye, you were looking sideways at me
There was no turning back, there was no giving up
When we lost that first child and I had to sober up
Cnother day in this life felt just like suicide
Trapped between the false and true
Dead set on you, dead set on you I had my mind made up and my heart dead set on you
Dead set on you, dead set on you I had my mind made up and my heart dead set on you
We've come along way since those two runaway kids
Sometimes looking back I can't believe what we did
Neither one of us ever really liked doing what we're told
Felt like purgatory but we were spinning gold
I was trying to break what you were trying to fix
Hit me hard and had me on the bricks
Dead set on you, dead set on you I had my mind made up and my heart dead set on you
Dead set on you, dead set on you I had my mind made up and my heart dead set on you
I had my mind made up and my heart dead set on you
