Kris Kristofferson - Down To Her Socks lyrics

Here's a song about a good 'ole girl with a big 'ole heart that got Broke 'cause she was in love with Some son of a b**h who didn't love her back enough ... Slowly she sank to her knees on the floor Cursin' the freedom she'd won >from the torture she vowed not to take anymore And the victim she'd almost become Chorus: For a lady who'd learned all there is about leaving She sure took a long time to go But he loved her right down to her socks and no further And her feet were the last ones to know. You see, the problem is, sometimes when you take a good stiff shot to The Heart, it kinda stuns you. it takes a while for the message to get down To your feet to get you out of trouble. so you stand there like some Old Fighter taking punishment you don't even know you're takin'. but one Day, you wake up and look down at your feet and find they're just Walking You away from me. Chorus: For a lady who'd learned all there is about leaving She sure picked a hard way to go But he loved her right down to her socks, and no further And her feet were the last ones to know.
