Cory Branan - Hell-Bent And Heart-First lyrics

I went to a party The party came to nothing I got there early and I drank for dear life I met a girl there She looked like the Virgin Mary She had a tatoo that looked like a gun I'm sure that there were other people at this party But I couldn't tell you who and neither could she She had a stun-gun, a la**o, and a tractor beam And we were locked on target when I threw away my keys And I wouldn't trade that night for a sky-blue '57 By seven come eleven we were leanin' on the dawn Skippin past the salt pillars Where everybody turns back Hell-bent and heart-first into the great long gone Lazy drunken moon Pa**ed out in the branches A fit of stars in my favorite piece of sky And as the night stood still beside us We used that perfect moment to talk about Miami Vice's pilot episode Cause it really didn't matter We were already junkies 15 minutes in we were retarded in love And they say love is like the movies But it felt more like a cartoon I got a halo of star and an anvil on my head And I wouldn't trade that night for a sky-blue '57 By seven come eleven we were leanin' on the dawn Skippin past the salt pillars Where everybody turns back Hell-bent and heart-first into the great long gone Hell-bent and heart-first into the great long Five years have pa**ed now Like unopened letters I setteled down and took that girl for my wife We both work hard to feed the children But our dreams are slowly starving Nothing scars you deeper than the things you haven't done But in the cool of the evening We fall together burning We never bring up the things we set aside Cause it was worth all the hard times Worth all that heartache Hell, it was worth it all if it was only for that night And I wouldn't trade that night for a sky-blue '57 By seven come eleven we were leanin' on the dawn Skippin' past the salt pillars Where everybody turns back Hell-bent and heart-first into the great long gone Hell-bent and heart-first Hell-bent and heart-first Hell-bent and heart-first into the great long
