You were wrong
You were right
And you are gone
Tonight

You were free
So alive
You were wrong
You were right

And you were down
You could see
And you wore hearts
For me

You were sharp
As sharp as knives
You were wrong
You were right

Shot down
Said you never had the chance
Took a ride on a suicide romance
Could have sworn there was somebody home

To facilitate the great unknown
Woman, I ain't going to meet you anywhere
Don't know where I'm going yet
But I sure am getting there

Shotgun fire
Anybody home?
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright
No, it's not easy tonight

Shotgun fire
Anybody home?
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright
No, it's not easy tonight

And you were bound
You were free
And you wear black
For me

You were dark
As dark as night
You were wrong
Yeah, you were right

Well, shot down
Said you never had the chance
Took a ride on a suicide romance
Could have sworn there was somebody home

To facilitate the great unknown
Woman, I ain't going to meet you anywhere
Don't know where I'm going yet
No, but I sure am getting there

Shotgun fire
Anybody home?
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright
No, it's not easy tonight

Shotgun fire 
Anybody home?
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright
Hell, it's not easy tonight

She's in over my head
And it's not easy, it's not easy tonight
She's in over my head
And it's not easy, it's not easy tonight

Shotgun fire
Anybody home?
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright
It's not easy tonight

Shotgun fire
Anybody home?
I got two dimes in the telephone
Alright, yeah

You were free
Now your not
You were free, babe
