[Verse 1] Baby, do you still remember The year we tried to k** the pain With s** and d** and bad intentions Stayin' up ‘til the break of day The road trip down to Oklahoma The night we tried to steal a train The day I walked in on you and Cody I know you both felt so ashamed [Chorus] Gonna take this burning heart Stick it in the ground Put me out of your misery Where I almost drowned I was on fire I needed you The year we tried to k** the pain [Verse 2] The Southern nights so warm and tender The sun that burned your skin so brown The blood red earth, those good bartenders A good saloon in every town The day we roll right into Memphis With only thirteen dollars cash That night we climbed the wall to Graceland
We made love there on the gra** [Chorus] Gonna take this burning heart Stick it in the ground Put me out of your misery Where I almost drowned I was on fire I needed you The year we tried to k** the pain [Verse 3] So fare thee well, my fallen angel We may never meet again I wouldn't trade ten years in heaven For the year we tried to k** the pain [Chorus] Gonna take this burning heart Stick it in the ground Put me out of your misery Where I almost drowned I was on fire I needed you The year we tried to k** the pain I was on fire I needed you The year we tried to k** the pain [Outro] Yeah Oh, no Whoa Whoa yeah Ooh
