Tie Me Down Lyrics

I've dodged the flame of love, my heart's been slippery and cold
I always thought I'd walk this path, least until I was almost old
Those sweet lips and eyes of green cut me like a blade of steel
Pulled my heart like a 18 wheel running up on Tennessee hill

I was a rollin' stone, my feet never touched the ground
She was the only one that ever could tie me down

Free life I left behind, strapped it to an angel's wings
Bounded to a new born love, tied up in her apron strings
I used to live alone, I never needed anyone
And she turned my head around, I didn't even try to run

Yeah, I was a rollin' stone, my feet never touched the ground
She was the only one that ever could tie me down, yeah

Lookin' back I realise happy is not what I was
When you run across a woman
It's your true love that's stronger than a moonshine buzz

Yeah, I was a rollin' stone, my feet never touched the ground
She was the only one that ever could tie me down
Yeah, I was a rollin' stone, my feet never touched the ground
She was the only one that ever could slow me down
Yeah, she was the only one that ever could tie me down
