Bootleg Lust

{acoustic guitar intro} Yeah,

yeah (hmmm) {low slide

guitar

swell} I had my ledger balanced,

path was straight and clean Then she stepped up on the porch,

like a movie scene Spilling top-shelf bourbon on my self-help books Selling

bad decisions with those velvet looks Now my garden's drying,

got weeds in the clay She's pulling me backward but I want

to stay (Lord help me) {rhythm drops in heavy} She's a beautiful

trap,

she's a sweet detour I was heading for the light,

now I'm back on her floor Trading all my growth for a

temporary spark Holding onto trouble,

dancing in the dark (yeah)

{heavy bass drop}

I was five months sober from the chaos and the dynamic She

walks in looking like an absolute classic Says she missed my touch,

says she needs a friend We both know how this story is

gonna end There goes my routine,

there goes my peace of mind Trading real progress for a beautiful

blind (hahaha)

{guitar solo

lick} She's a beautiful trap,

she's a sweet detour I was heading for the light,

now I'm back on her floor Trading all my growth for a

temporary spark Holding onto trouble,

dancing in the dark

{slide guitar swelling} One step forward,

three steps back into the red Forgetting every single word my preacher

said (oh Lord) She's a slow burn,

she's a fast ride Leaving all my sanity outside {half-time beat breakdown}

Trading my tomorrow for tonight

(hmmm) Yeah, she got me again

{acoustic guitar fading

out over vinyl crackle}
