nedped - Rough 'n' Tumble Girl Lyrics

Trouble found me on the day I started
Down that road to something beautiful
Wind so warm 'gainst my skin in her game
Married into trust, I was
Burned to cosmic dust with love
Truth be told, she was a rough-and-tumble girl

Short on luck and ever broken-hearted
Sold my soul for half the going wage
Circumstance danced and shook my faith, but
What secret is ever safe with me?
Behold, this is not a sacred place
Truth be told, it's a rough-and-tumble world

Knowing now by what could only happen
How could love have been avoided long?
A warm, inviting, sure surrender
Prisoner of her world
Tunneling through those depths of hell
Truth be known, she was a rough-and-tumble girl
