Look at you, knockin' at my door
What he'd do he hasn't done before?
It's the same old sorry song and dance
You're always good for one more chance, well
Look at you, knockin' at my door

You saw a light, I saw a freight train comin'
I tried to tell you he was no damn good
You heard bells, I heard the hammer fallin'
He ran you down like I said he would

Baby, pin a rose on me
Baby, pin a rose on me
Baby, pin a rose on me

It's a heavy load, it's a trail of tears
And it's a dead end line that drops you here
And it tears me up to see you brought back to him
When you don't want to have him
But I long to give you
It's a heavy load, it's a trail of tears

You saw a light, I saw a freight train comin'
I tried to tell you he was no damn good
You heard the bells, I heard the hammer fallin'
He ran you down like I said he would
