Lend a longing ear and hear me whisper
I'll speak to your heartache's deepest scar
Put the silver cuffs on ever loosely
Leave this metal door slightly ajar
There where we were talking hidden secrets
Just a clever line or maybe two
Heaven's out there somewhere waiting for us
Let me free you from your prison, too
Over time I weakened your defenses
A gentle smile and ever knowing glance
Tried to pull you in with my own magic
Knowing that you never stood a chance
Promised you the moon but it was waning
Gave you just a sky of fading stars
What's a life that's always lived in hiding
What's a love that's spoken through these bars
. My love they've got us here in Indiana
. I'm not sure we've another place to go
. The promises were broken when I made them
. But something that I could not let you know
. Now the world at hand it draws around you
. Truer truth than you could ever stand
. Poisoned pill is ever at the ready
. Blackened polished metal in your hand
Don't you know this snake was always waiting
Coiled and ready looking for a fight
To stare you down and wrap myself around you
And if you got too close I'd take a bite
I left one man to die in Alabama
I left another dead from my own hands
And now I watch your life go slipping from you
Passing like the hourglass' sands
. My love they've got us here in Indiana
. I'm not sure we've another place to go
. The promises were broken when I made them
. But something that I could not let you know
. Now the world at hand it draws around you
. Truer truth than you could ever stand
. Poisoned pill is ever at the ready
. Blackened polished metal in your hand
The sirens come the blue lights flash behind us
I press the only pedal to the floor
The world it blackens out for just a moment
And now they try to pull me through the door
Cross the state line - never look behind us
Cross our wounded hearts and hope to die
Ending in a car chase like the movies
Blow a bitter kiss to say goodbye
