Bottle of wine and an old 45
Rifle in the corner that her grandfather left her when he died
Said no surprise, I've had to use it quite a few times
So Jay, don't you ever let us down, don't you ever
I'll have to shoot you and no one will hear a sound

Bruised and bloody, I'm lying on the ground
And I am aware that I let the poor girl down
Now I'm dying as a message to the town
This what happens if you ***k around

And meddle if you want trouble
Trouble, then you should meddle
But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart

She said, get your coat, come on
To the dog track with the money right
Yeah, we had some fun, left with more 'cause we won
I was under investigation on su****ion of doing her wrong

She said, you've become a villain accused of a hit and run
Said, hit me first and I say it's the worst
That I ever felt in a broken heart
And bloodstains on her shirt crease
And hope she pays the dues

When I left she said that your last breath
Will be down by the station at two
Swear she shot me down

Bruised and bloody, I'm lying on the ground
And I am aware that I let the poor girl down
Now I'm dying as a message to the town
This is what happens if you ***k around

So meddle if you want trouble
Trouble, then you should meddle
But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart

She said I'm a user and she's a loser with a gun
I said if you choose to, it becomes hard to include anyone
So if you stay, put it away or should I run?
She said I think you know the answer to your question

So for the smiles and all of the miles that the engine's done
The further I drive away the closer we become
So if I stay would you put it away and forgive this one son?
She said, 'Jay, I think you know the answer to your question'

Bruised and bloody I'm lying on the ground
And I am aware that I let the poor girl down
Now I'm dying as a message to the town
This what happens if you ***k around

So meddle if you want trouble
Trouble, then you should meddle
But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart
