I fell in love with a girl from the country
She was so fair that it hurt my eyes
Young and naive she was mine for the asking
I took a chance and I made her my wife
Well, she learned how to lie and she learned about cheating
She learned to make my sorry head bow
Don't even ask if I still think about her
In another man's arms, that's where she is now
With heaven above and with hell all around me
I never knew I could be hurt this way
Everything seems to be so far above me
It don't seem right but I guess it's okay
Everyone says that I'm gonna die drinking
Nobody knows that better than me
All I can say is it's better than thinking
One moment of peace, well that's all that I need
With heaven above and with hell all around me
I never knew I could be hurt this way
Everything seems to be so far above me
It don't seem right but I guess it's okay
With heaven above and with hell all around me
I never knew I could be hurt this way
Everything seems to be so far above me
It don't seem right but I guess it's okay
