She was doing 60 in a 35
I hit the lights and pulled her over
When I reached the window of the driver side, there was blood from her mouth, dry on her shoulder
I've never had much patience for guys that hit - for more than just obvious reasons
I asked if she wanted me to take him in
She laughed it off like lemonade
When you're in love, you can be blinded by your own heart; you'll bend your own truth
So twisted up you could justify sin
And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams, people do desperate things
I've been taking lunch breaks at her work when the restaurant ain't too crowded
She knows me and my wife got a little girl; we don't talk too much about it
The other night she met me way out west
Things went further than they should have
But when she undid the bu*tons of her dress, I didn't stop her, but I could have
I know where he drinks most every night
It's our local hero sports bar
I've got him cuffed and sweating cold in the back of my patrol car
You forget how dark the canyon gets
It's a real uneasy feeling
I've never had much patience for guys who hit - for more than just obvious reasons
