Case Not Closed
Palha
The sheriff and an outlaw swore we'd keep it out of sight
But every time she looked at me, she'd give us both away outright
We're denyin' every witness, every piece of evidence too
Till the town called our bluff, she couldn't wear both badge and love
She packed before the sunrise, never made a sound
Left her badge beside the coffee, keys there on the ground
She mapped out every getaway, except the one I need
Ain't no road escapes the love she left in me
She crossed the county line, left me on this side
I'm usually the one who's always said goodbye
Spent my whole life runnin', never thought I'd fall
Turns out forever sounded like her boots out in the hall
Found myself fixin' the porch swing by our rented space
Stopped and thought, since when'd I start puttin' things in place?
Her last report read, subject's still too slick to catch
Mine would read, that girl's got my heart, and I ain't gettin' it back
She packed before the sunrise, never made a sound
Left her badge beside the coffee, keys there on the ground
She mapped out every getaway, except the one I need
Ain't no road escapes the love she left in me
She crossed the county line, left me on this side
I'm usually the one who's always said goodbye
Spent my whole life runnin', never thought I'd fall
Turns out forever sounded like her boots out in the hall
Guess freedom ain't much freedom when you ain't got nowhere to go
Never knew an outlaw could miss a place he'd never let himself know
I'll probably run tomorrow, that's just the way I live
But every road keeps askin' why I don't wanna give
She crossed the county line, left me on this side
I'm usually the one who's always said goodbye
Spent my whole life runnin', never thought I'd fall
Turns out forever sounded like her boots out in the hall
