So roll, roll down, rob a railroad train
Look like Robert Ford did Jessie James
Heart full of love, but I'm only here to kill her
I fear that the devil may have spoke too soon
And ran through the room with a bottle of you
Fell down in a chair, and that was where I heard him sing
And he sang, "Love is only a heartbeat away
Best save for the darkest of your days"
And he sang, "Love is only a heartbeat away
Best save for the darkest of your days"
So I raised my glass to the Holy Ghost
Father and Son that she loved the most
St. Peter, won't you please forgive her?
Turn yourself an old blind eye
Damn, heaven knows we tried
And now he's never heard Ma sing
And she sang, "Love is only a heartbeat away
Best save for the darkest of your days"
Yeah, she sang, "Love is only a heartbeat away
Best save for the darkest of your days"
I know I wasn't 'round half as much as I could've
And I never let you say half as much as you would've
As you would've
So roll, roll down, rob a railroad train
Look like Robert Ford did Jessie James
Heart full of love, but I'm only here to kill her
Remember me for mistakes I've made
I always did leave when I should've stayed
And oh, my sins taught me how to sing
And I sang, "Love is only a heartbeat away
Best save for the darkest of your days"
And I sang, "Love is only a heartbeat away
Best save for the darkest of your days
The darkest of your days"
