lyrics

Everybody's got a price to pay
And a heart that can hurt so mean
I was just a lovesick boy
I was only seventeen
I knew what I wanted
I knew what I could not be
She knew she owned me outright
That only she could set me free

I would leave the woods if I could
I would take her with me
I would make her feel so good
But that's not how it came to be
That's not how it came to be

She got around, kept the fires all lit
Yeah boys, she was cleanin' clocks
While I was trying to make the rent
She was making down the block
She knew what she wanted
She knew what she could not be
I was talkin' babies
She was callin' someone else baby

I would leave the woods if I could
I would take her with me
I would make her feel so good
But that's not how it came to be
That's not how it came to be

Now I'm living in the house of straw
She's back in the country dirt
I've been thinkin' 'bout the natural law
How to love someone and not get hurt
I know what I wanted
Now I know what I would not be
The tamer of a wild mare
The keeper of a honey bee

I would leave the woods if I could
I would take her with me
I would make her feel so good
But that's not what was meant to be
That's not what was meant to be
