Down to Her Socks
Here's a song about a good 'ole girl with a big 'ole heart that got
Broke 'cause she was in love with
Some son of a bitch who didn't love her back enough .
Slowly she sank to her knees on the floor
Cursin' the freedom she'd won
From the torture she vowed not to take anymore
And the victim she'd almost become
For a lady who'd learned all there is about leaving
She sure took a long time to go
But he loved her right down to her socks and no further
And her feet were the last ones to know
You see, the problem is
Sometimes when you take a good stiff
shot to the heart, it kinda stuns you
It takes a while for the message to get
down to your feet to get you out of trouble
So you stand there like some old fighter
taking punishment you don't even know you're takin'
But one day, you wake up and look down at your
feet and find they're just walking you away from me
For a lady who'd learned all there is about leaving
She sure picked a hard way to go
But he loved her right down to her socks, and no further
And her feet were the last ones to know
Broke 'cause she was in love with
Some son of a bitch who didn't love her back enough .
Slowly she sank to her knees on the floor
Cursin' the freedom she'd won
From the torture she vowed not to take anymore
And the victim she'd almost become
For a lady who'd learned all there is about leaving
She sure took a long time to go
But he loved her right down to her socks and no further
And her feet were the last ones to know
You see, the problem is
Sometimes when you take a good stiff
shot to the heart, it kinda stuns you
It takes a while for the message to get
down to your feet to get you out of trouble
So you stand there like some old fighter
taking punishment you don't even know you're takin'
But one day, you wake up and look down at your
feet and find they're just walking you away from me
For a lady who'd learned all there is about leaving
She sure picked a hard way to go
But he loved her right down to her socks, and no further
And her feet were the last ones to know
