Sweet Poison & Heavy Hits
A glass full of shadows and bittersweet wine You offered a taste, said the future was mine A velvet temptation, a soft spoken lie I drank down the sweetness and looked to the sky My vision grew heavy, the shadow set in Where the romance ends, and the battles begin. β The silver spurs jingle, the ground starts to shake You thought I was fragile, you thought I would break. β I take your sweet wine, then I roll with the punches Standing right up after taking the hits You poured me a dream, but my spirit wonβt shatter Through the dust and the dark, I wonβt ever quit. Yeah, I roll with the punches, And take what the night has to give! β The morning came cold with a sting in the jaw A ghost in the mirror, obeying no law You stole all my silver, you walked out the door Left me face down on the barroom floor I wiped off the blood, put my boots in the dirt Learned how to thrive in the shadow of hurt. β The bell rings again, no retreat in my mind Iβm leaving the smoke and the heartache behind. β I take your sweet wine, then I roll with the punches Standing right up after taking the hits You poured me a dream, but my spirit wonβt shatter Through the dust and the dark, I wonβt ever quit. Yeah, I roll with the punches, And take what the night has to give! β Pour another glass, bring the thunder down Iβm still the king in this ghost-ridden town A sweet little poison, a heavy left hookβ Iβve read every page in your dangerous book! β I take your sweet wine, then I roll with the punches Standing right up after taking the hits You poured me a dream, but my spirit wonβt shatter Through the dust and the dark, I wonβt ever quit. Yeah, I roll with the punches, And take what the night has to give! β Sweet wine... Heavy hits... Roll with the punches...
