Fangs
A young maid once held keys to a farm
Purchased at auction, for a dance and a song
She found a young lad, work seemed not to tire
Only trouble there was, the young maid was a vampire
Years crept on by, strange enough it worked out
Between one another, their love had no doubts
Though her eyes only aged, and his body gave in
Father time come a-knockin' to collect what was his
Mercy oh mercy I wish to be dead
This heartache's too heavy, for a coffin-sized bed
I'll roam and I'll search, swear to love not again
But honky tonk lights keep calling me in
It didn't take long for the maid to pretend
When the bars closed at two, that she'd found her new friend
Thinkin' he'd gotten lucky, made all the right moves
Till the bedroom door shut, and she popped out her fangs
Mercy oh mercy I wish to be dead
This heartache's too heavy, for a coffin-sized bed
I'll roam and I'll search, swear to love not again
But honky tonk lights keep calling me in
I hope this song finds you, at the right time and place
Fore' the maid picks you up, then leaves not a trace
So beware of the honky-tonk maiden that bites
From her erie old tune, she sings every night
Mercy oh mercy I wish to be dead
This heartache's too heavy, for a coffin-sized bed
I'll roam and I'll search, swear to love not again
But honky tonk lights keep calling me in
Oh, honky tonk lights can't be kicked on a whim
Purchased at auction, for a dance and a song
She found a young lad, work seemed not to tire
Only trouble there was, the young maid was a vampire
Years crept on by, strange enough it worked out
Between one another, their love had no doubts
Though her eyes only aged, and his body gave in
Father time come a-knockin' to collect what was his
Mercy oh mercy I wish to be dead
This heartache's too heavy, for a coffin-sized bed
I'll roam and I'll search, swear to love not again
But honky tonk lights keep calling me in
It didn't take long for the maid to pretend
When the bars closed at two, that she'd found her new friend
Thinkin' he'd gotten lucky, made all the right moves
Till the bedroom door shut, and she popped out her fangs
Mercy oh mercy I wish to be dead
This heartache's too heavy, for a coffin-sized bed
I'll roam and I'll search, swear to love not again
But honky tonk lights keep calling me in
I hope this song finds you, at the right time and place
Fore' the maid picks you up, then leaves not a trace
So beware of the honky-tonk maiden that bites
From her erie old tune, she sings every night
Mercy oh mercy I wish to be dead
This heartache's too heavy, for a coffin-sized bed
I'll roam and I'll search, swear to love not again
But honky tonk lights keep calling me in
Oh, honky tonk lights can't be kicked on a whim
