"Two For His Heels" lyrics

"Two For His Heels"

Love swims in the sun drowned down by the rain
One to care for the beyond us is only for the truest flames

Got to get to get myself on the top of that hill
Her Daddy got drunk and he wanted to kill
If she don't love me then nobody will
It's one for the Jacks and two for his heels
Two for his heels

Tell our secrets to the heart of my open road
Never get to paradise if paradise she all alone

Got to get to get myself on the top of that hill
Her Daddy got drunk and decided to kill
If she don't love me then nobody will
It's one for the Jacks and two for his heels
Two for his heels

Here I am a being of the dark on the edge of town
Like the howling in the heart of a dog as the sun goes down

Got to get to get myself on the top of that hill
Her Daddy got drunk and decided to kill
Is she don't love me then nobody will
It's one for the Jacks and two for his heels
Two for his heels

Love swims in the sun drowned down by the rain
To care for one beyond us is only for the truest flames
For the truest flames
