lovers

lying on the truck bed, under the stars
holding tight to your hand, living by love's laws

your touch so somooth, kisses so sweet,
the suns up too soon, daylight's greet

revving up the engine, V8
calling on the payphone, days late

mama sounds mad, cutting a switch
too bad, too old; tough luck, bitch

holding on to one another, into the night
loving til sundown, tucked in tight

she sleeps like an angel, dont say a word
dont wanna wake her, not to be heard

phone rings loud, personal ringtone
so he answers her cell, to "honey im coming home"

one bullet hole, long-long rope
straight through the heart, cutting his throat

two seperate graves, one wife; one lover
four lives ruined... for now, shes a mother
