Joker

I heard you're still in Nashville
Do you ever think of leaving town?
Do you sit inside your golden walls
Just wondering how it all fell down

I heard you're still hanging 'round
Same house on Shelby street
I heard you cried 'til no one else
Could bear to hear the screams

You used to talk about god sometimes
Like you were high on a hill
Used to tell us what was wrong and right
And we would just stand still
You used to wrap me around and 'round your finger
Like a marionette string
And I would play the joker
And you would play the queen

I remember how you played your game
How you got me to let you in
We'd laugh about the different world
You seemed to be living in
I tried to shrug it off
Back turned to every sign
You kept on telling lies
Til I had no one on my side

You used to talk about god sometimes
Like you were high on a hill
Used to tell us what was wrong and right
And we would just stand still
You used to wrap me around and 'round your finger
Like a marionette string
And I would play the joker
And you would play the queen

Aaah

I know you hate accidents
You manage every move
Do you fight yourself just wondering how
You seemed to wind up losing?
