Lyrics

Firewood
By Nate Rylan & Chris Brooks
ASCAP 2018

You had nowhere to go.
Those fishnets won't keep you warm when it snows.
You saw me coming from a mile away,
Lonesome as a widow on Valentine's Day.

You've been hitching' a long time,
So I gave you a home.
Wrapped you in diamonds and fancy clothes,
But after you loved me you turned on your charms.
I was a fool to have lost all them jewels in another man's arms.

I tended to you more than any man would,
But you left me to dry like firewood.
You laid me out.
Did me good,
But the flames you lit burned me like firewood.

I was looking for someone just to be near,
When I found you at that barstool trading winks for a beer.
By the time that I realized your love wasn't free,
I caught the backdraft,
You had the last laugh,
The joke was on me.

I tended to you more than any man would,
But you left me to dry like firewood.
You laid me out.
Did me good,
But the flames you lit burned me like firewood.

I shed more tears than any man should,
When you split me in two just like firewood.

Laid me out.
Did me good,
But the flames you lit burned me like firewood.
