This track was recorded at a ranch house out in Wimberley, TX between inflatable mattresses and under down comforters.
lyrics
Kelly took the roll of quarters for the table and ran
For the interstate where you’d never see her again
She dunced all your photographs to stare at the walls
And through the open window you heard her engine haul away
All you wanted was for true love to be real
But till now it all was built with stilted steel
The women they all pass through your screen door’s broken latch
And you swear you’ll never fall in love again
White knuckled and barreling down them walls
The clack of change as you go running through them tolls
Neglect and disregard for all the rules of the road
And little Robert in the back seat two years old
All you wanted was for true love to be real
But till now it all was built with rage and zeal
The women they all pass through your screen door’s broken latch
And you swear you’ll never fall in love again
Now you’re standing round in all them piles of glass
The faded heirlooms that remind you of the past
Now you’re all alone and you’re not quite sure what to do
With all those numbers you had hidden now in the blue
All you wanted was for true love to be real
But till now it all was built with stilted steel
The women they all pass through your screen door’s broken latch
And you swear you’ll never fall in love again
