[Intro]
Bottle of wine and an old 45
Rifle in the corner that her grandfather left her when he died
Said no surprise, I've had to use it quite a few times
So Jay, don't you ever let us down, don't you ever
I'll have to shoot you and no one will hear a sound
[Chorus]
Bruised and bloody, I'm lying on the ground
And I am aware that I let the poor girl down
Now I'm dying as a message to the town
This what happens if you f** around
And meddle if you want trouble
Trouble, then you should meddle
But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart
[Verse 1]
She said, get your coat, come on
To the dog track with the money right
Yeah, we had some fun, left with more cause we won
I was under investigation on suspicion of doing her wrong
She said, you've become a villain accused of a hit and run
Said, hit me first and I say it's the worst
That I ever felt in a broken heart
And bloodstains on her shirt crease
And hope she pays the dues
When I left she said that your last breath
Will be down by the station at two
Swear she shot me down
[Chorus]
Bruised and bloody, I'm lying on the ground
And I am aware that I let the poor girl down
Now I'm dying as a message to the town
This is what happens if you f** around
So meddle if you want trouble
Trouble, then you should meddle
But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart
[Verse 2]
She said I'm a user and she's a loser with a gun
I said if you choose to, it becomes hard to include anyone
So if you stay, put it away or should I run?
She said I think you know the answer to your question
So for the smiles and all of the miles that the engine's done
The further I drive away the closer we become
So if I stay would you put it away and forgive this one son?
She said, "Jay, I think you know the answer to your question"
[Chorus]
Bruised and bloody I'm lying on the ground
And I am aware that I let the poor girl down
Now I'm dying as a message to the town
This what happens if you f** around
So meddle if you want trouble
Trouble, then you should meddle
But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart
