"If I Can't Have You" lyrics

"If I Can't Have You"

I'll probably start some hard drugs, and get me a new tattoo
I'll find me a fake love that holds me without a clue
That you're hard up on my mind while stirred up on my lap
You're a thought that I just can't undo

If I can't have you, lock me up and throw away the key
'Cause free ain't a place where I need to be
I'd be out stealing and killing, trying to chase this old thrill I knew
If I can't have you

Toss me in a pine box, and cover me with old red dirt
Put a bullet in my head, couldn't be much worse than this hurt

If I can't have you, lock me up and throw away the key
'Cause free ain't a place where I need to be
I'd be out stealing and killing, trying to chase this old thrill I knew
If I can't have you

I'd be riding 'round in a ghost town on the outskirts of hell
Don't think I could even live with myself

If I can't have you, lock me up and throw away the key
'Cause free ain't a place where I need to be
'Cause I'd be out stealing and killing, trying to chase this old thrill I knew
If I can't have you
If I can't have you
