[Verse] She’s a penny tossed in a wishing well A sunset painted in shades of farewell A matchstick box that never sparks A hound chasing shadows in the dark [Chorus] That’s the way she rolls That’s the way she falls— Like rain that don’t wait for no curtain calls She’s a riddle wrapped in a three-card deal A barefoot dancer on a ferris wheel [Verse 2] Life’s a jukebox stuck on an old sad tune A kite tangled up in a silver moon An empty glass on a crowded bar A train that whispers "You won’t go far." [Chorus] That’s the way she rolls That’s the way she spins— Like smoke curling up from a house of sins She’s a broken clock on borrowed time A poet’s pen covered in grime [Bridge] And if you hold her She’ll slip through your hand Like grains of truth in shifting sand Love her soft Or she’ll never stay Like the dawn that’s chased by the edge of day [Verse 3] She’s a songbird caught in a jealous breeze A lover’s promise carved in old oak trees A tangled line where the fish don’t bite A dream forgotten by morning’s light
