i should have know what you'd do, it was too good to be true
you belong on reality tv but you don't deserve me.
but i see the truth, that you're just uncouth
like a rip tide dragging me out to sea.
life is good again, yet sometimes i regret
then you turned mean spirited, so now you're done, period.
we had fun while it lasted but it's time for something new.
it's hard to walk away from the place i thought was home, just know my heart is with you no matter where my feet will roam.
My spirit soars as my feet roam, the adventure and the thrill/but the place I belong is in your arms beneath the tree atop the hill.
It's suffocating and small, I think as I pack/hard to imagine I'd ever come back.
but can they find my soul worthy when I shot the horse that lost the derby
"I've learned," I scream, but it's too late/the devil laughs, "you've sealed your fate."
Footsteps pounding on the ground/can my horse outrun the devils hounds?
Couldn't lose, was a sure thing/Did I really bet her wedding ring?
Brad Roberts commented on Mephistopheles' lyric:
"way cool. by the way, i'm out in the country and have a pebble in my shoe now."
(more)"Like a pebble in the shoe that won't go away/was this my past or a new someday?"
