We carved our names into a tree
Just to see how it could be
But it was nothing but a scratch
Another place for cars to crash
I lost my heart in Tennessee
Beggin' eyes bendin' knees
And it was more than just a scratch
You carved your name across my back
I made a promise to myself
Not to trust nobody else
I broke it soon as I got home
I cannot do this on my own
I'll never mess you around
No I'll never mess you around
No I'll never mess you around
But I will let you down
I found a friend in Montréal
She hung her posters on my wall
And I could use another friend
Won't you stay until the end?
Cause I'll never mess you around
No I'll never mess you around
I'll never mess you around
But I will let you down
We carved our names into a tree
Just to see how it could be
But it was nothing but a scratch
Another place for cars to crash
I made a promise to myself
Not to trust nobody else
I broke it soon as I got home
I cannot do this on my own
I cannot do this on my own
