Emily

I don't care about what they say
I'm drunk again on whiskey all day
And I'll hang my head in the morning
Wondering why

There's a girl in Tennessee
I said she'll never get the best of me
But when she stole my heart
I was torn apart
Like a tornado through a big oak tree

And when I tried to win her back
Well she would only laugh
Now the whole damn thing has faded
Like a worn out photograph

Oh, Emily
Oh, Emily
I am sinking like a stone
In the deepest, darkest sea
Oh, Emily

I dream about her every night
I'm lying there holding her tight
I guess love sometimes is blind and can let you down

She has about the greenest eyes
And her hold is like a paradise
Any gambling man
Would take a stand
Even just to see her one night

And when I tried to make her mine
She'd say 'some other time'
I guess if loving her was wrong
I should be put away to serve my crime

Oh, Emily
Oh, Emily
I am sinking like a stone
In the deepest, darkest sea
Oh, Emily
Oh, Emily
Oh, Emily
I am sinking like a stone
In the deepest, darkest sea
Oh, Emily
Oh, Emily
I am sinking like a stone
In the deepest, darkest sea
Oh, Emily
Oh, Emily
