Barbed Wire

Barbed Wire

Everybody wants a piece of my time
Everybody wants a piece of my time
But I can’t help thinkin’ what I left behind
A simple girl she don’t ask for much

Just a blur of the world outside her window
Just a morning on the coast with nowhere to go
Tell me when did I lose my reckless heart
‘Cause some dark day she won’t need my touch

While the roses bloom here tall and wild
And I can get tangled in the vines
Air should taste so sweet but she is gone
Crimson on my feet and hands
No one sees it like I can
This is barbed wire

Everybody likes to tell you what is home
Everybody likes to tell you what is home
Maybe we found it many moons ago
And all this time I’ve been running from the truth

While the roses bloom here tall and wild
And I can get tangled in the vines
Air should taste so sweet but she is gone
Crimson on my feet and hands
No one sees it like I can

This is barbed wire, barbed wire, barbed wire
