She’s a mess in a short black dress
Strutting through downtown Tennessee
A mean city girl trying to be country
A short little dysfunctional scorpion queen
With angel wings tattooed on her back
I lose my mind when she arches her back
She crashed her truck last week
But this week
She drives across the country to see me
And I’ll see if she’s still crazy
She has a boyfriend who’s lazy
Smokes weed all day
And plays video games
She calls me to complain
And I nod along
My mind is back in time
To my 27th birthday
When she gave me that lap dance
And then we fucked five or six times
But three days ago
She told me she was coked out of her mind
And doesn’t even remember that night
And something inside of me dies
A little piece
A little hope
I always forget
How bad she can be for me
But I still want to jump into her toxicity
Yes, I still want to thrust myself deep inside her toxicity
She's just that sexy
And I feel more important when she sleeps next to me
I feel stronger when she sleeps on my chest
She is so tiny
But so feisty
I’d let her take a bite out of me
If she was hungry
And if she was thirty
I’d drain my veins
So she could she drink from me
If her heart really does give out someday
Like they say
It will
Then
She can take this little ticker
She can take mine
If it fits
And she can live
And I can go back to sleep
And maybe in the afterlife
I’ll be able to hear my heart beat
Inside of her chest
And I’ll be able to close my eyes
And rest
Knowing
That she is blessed
With more time
Maybe I’ll be at peace then
Maybe my soul will go wherever it needs to go
When I know
She is still strutting through downtown Tennessee
With a little piece of me
Helping her heart beat
Just so she can have a couple drunk cowboys
Fight over her in the street
Like they did
Last week.
