I walked for miles, oh- with my head in my hands.Was once a child, I'm now surely a man She ripped my chest wide open, oh- she ripped my chest wide open (yeah)~ We were dead over heels. I was doin' cartwheels. No mess, no frills; just the way my heart feels. Wild and fine from New Orleans. Tattoo on her thigh had a fleur-de-lis. In a little silk dress that she bought second-hand, she did a little dance. I could see her silhouette. Good God, how I used to knock that out. Rattle the walls in that shotgun house. Good Lord, how we used to party hard; half dead flyin' home from Mardis Gras. The shit we did we should have been arrested. The shit I fell for well, I should have guessed it. Should have known then that no one could tame that, fire on the bayou no way to contain that. Would have exchanged vows; church with stained glass, now passed out laid across the train tracks. I walked for miles oh with my head in my hands. Was once a child, I'm now surely a man She ripped my chest wide open, oh- she ripped my chest wide open (yeah)~ We were naked in the dark drinkin' Megasmart out of mis-matched mugs and mason jars. She was actin' strange, then I had this dream. We were at a cotillion, a masquerade. She disappeared behind an elaborate stage, followed by 5 gentleman. I gassed the way. The bed was empty. I sat up straight. [~Were we together last night or did I masterbate?] The drapes are drawn and now baby's gone. Its sweet like she just put her fragrance on. The first night I tripped 'cuz we partied crazy. As time went by, though, It happened daily. Circling the crib would be random riff raff. Phone numbers written on the back of Zig Zags. I asked her about it. She dismissed it slightly. Then, we would have sex and it'd be forgotten. I walked for miles, oh-with my head in my hands. Was once a child, I'm now surely a man She ripped my chest wide open, oh- she ripped my chest wide open (yeah)~ Where did We go wrong? Where did we go wrong? Can I make it right? Can I make it right? One hot night we were feeling restless . Hit the dive bar for some reckless mischief. Baby always knew how to make an entrance. Dudes winkin' at her like they knew our business. I pitched a fit, she threw a tantrum. She stormed off yellin' headed for the restroom. I pounded a side car, popped a Seven. She was takin' her time so I hit the men's room. Familiar screams from the next latrine. Why did I look, I already knew what I'd see. Straddlin' some dude with her boots in the air, she smiled back at me, threw a deuce in the air. If its a few franks, here I am at the cribbo. Stand at the place that I glanced out the window. Hand full of drapes or the hand full of zippos . Laugh in his face. Come dance with me kiddo she ripped my chest wide open she ripped my chest wide open she ripped my chest wide open she ripped my chest wide open Yeah Oh No Oooh Baby Yeah
