Guilty Woman

Carved my name on the chopping block
But you still want the blood
My picture's pinned up on your wanted sign
So I'm still on the run

I pictured us in an open room
Just dancing around in our best shoes but
You found my secret so I build my tomb
Cause I'm here a guilty woman
I'm here a guilty woman

The drive gets warm I head to dig my grave
And the sweat's dripping down my hunted face
They'll find my body in a guitar case
Where Jesus sings the melodies in my place

I pictured me as an open book
Wearing your arms wrapped around me as my best look but
I turn out to be just your pretty crook
Cause I'm here a guilty woman
I'm here a guilty woman

These walls are making their way now
Closing in on me to cut my skin
Here comes God breathing down my neck now
I ain't got nothin but my sin

Cold feet swinging off the preacher's dock
Said baby crime just makes a bleeding broken flock
They'll find my soul miles down heaven's block
Where Devil's kindly marching us around the clock

I catch your eye in the flaming line
Cause lets just say that you weren't so kind so
We sit here kissing and we clean our knives
Cause we're here some guilty fools then
And I'm here a guilty woman
