"The Fence" lyrics

I was rollin' through every one-horse town
No brake lights on my truck
No plans for settlin' down
Just tryin' not to get stuck
Somewhere with someone
like an ole boy on the run
wasn't lookin' back
I was fine with that

I was hell on wheels
You were heaven-sent
I wasn't no good deal
You didn't mind a bit
You stopped me
You caught me
Roped all my crazy in
I was a tumbleweed just blowin' in the wind
Thank God, girl
That you were the fence

Don't know where the hell I'd be right now
If you weren't standin' there to slow me down
But wrapped me up when you didn't have to
Coulda opened the gates and I'da rolled on through
I'd still be spinnin'
But thank God you didn't

'Cause I was hell on wheels
You were heaven-sent
I wasn't no good deal
You didn't mind a bit
You stopped me
You caught me
Roped all my crazy in
I was a tumbleweed just blowin' in the wind
Thank God, girl
You were the fence
Yeah, you were the fence

Right there in the way
Wreckin' all my reckless ways
Ain't it crazy how sometimes the wind can change

I was hell on wheels
You were heaven-sent
I wasn't no good deal
You didn't mind a bit
You stopped me
You caught me
Roped all my crazy in
I was a tumbleweed just blowin' in the wind
Thank God, girl
You were the fence
