I walked for miles
Oh, with my head in my hand
Ooh, ooh
She ripped my chest wide open
Once I was a child
I'm now surely a man
Ooh, ooh
She ripped my chest wide open
She ripped my chest wide open
Oh, she ripped my chest
Wide open, yeah
We were head over heels
I was doing cartwheels
No romance, no appeals
Just the way my heart feels
Wild and fine from New Orleans
Tattoo on her thigh
Of a fleur-de-lis
In a little silk dress
That she bought secondhand
She'd do a little dance
I could see her silhouette
Good God
I wished to knock that out
Rattle the walls
In that shotgun little house
Good lord, how we used to party hard
Half-dead flying home from Mardi Gras
The shit we did
We should have been arrested
Shit, I fell for her
Well, i should have guessed it
Should have known then
That no one can tame that
Fire on the Bayou
No way to contain that
Would've exchanged vows
Church with stained glass
Now I'm passed out
Laid across the train tracks
I waked for miles
Oh, with my head in my hands
Ooh, ooh
She ripped my chest wide open
Once was a child
I'm now surely a man
Ooh, ooh
She ripped my chest wide open
She ripped my chest wide open
Oh, she ripped my chest
Wide open, yeah
Ooh, she ripped my chest
Wide open, yeah
Ooh, ooh
She ripped my chest wide open
Yeah, yeah
