Lyrics

She said she’d met him a bar on South Lamar
He had a funny looking haircut, and a healing scar
She said she tried to run, she didn’t so far
But when she woke up, she was seeing stars
I told her “go and pack a bag, and I’ll pick you up”
I bought a gun, and a tonneau for the pickup truck
She had a needle, and a spoon, and a granola bar
And we taped up the plates on the car

[Chorus]
Darlin’
When it’s four in the morning
I’ll hold you ‘til the daybreak
If you’re spinning like a ballet
Honey
I’m so happy that you love me
Sink your teeth into my skin
Baby, Honey, Darlin’

Well he was stoned, or he was stupid, I could not tell
But when he threw the first punch, I knew damn well
She was laughing, she was smiling, she was having fun
I didn’t even have to use my gun
He was a thrashing and a screaming, I could barely see
He was kicking, he was bleeding, he was losing teeth
She was sparkling in the moonlight like a diamond ring
Light was bouncing off her onto everything

(chorus)

So we drove out to the border, I was driving fast
I noticed on my bumper red and blue lights flash
I pulled onto the shoulder and I held my breath
And the whole world smelled like death
But he was friendly he was checking on my left taillight
All of a sudden from the back there was a terrible fright
He heard the screamin’, and I thought “well this is just my luck”
And then my trigger finger baby shot a first-place buck

(chorus)

We packed the pair in there like a sardine tin
We made it to the holler where it all would end
I said a few Hail Mary’s and I dug a place
And then I felt a little something running down my face
A second, and I fell right where I stood
At least she did in a hurry, she looked real good
She kissed me as the blood was filling up my mouth
There were sirens rolling in from the north and south

(chorus)

Sink your teeth into my skin
Baby, Honey, Darlin’
