[Verse 1] There was a girl from Tennessee Brought the fires of Hell on me She brought a long line of hurt and a world of trouble Every door became one more wall Goddamn, you know I gave it my all Oh, I tried and I tried, but couldnt stop lovin her [Chorus] Some people take it for a ride Let it rust outside like a brokedown Chevrolet Some people keep it inside Goin out of their mind like theyre high on cocaine Oh, I wish it wouldnt just go Throwin it around like its fools gold Oh, ther aint no slowin me down I wear mine on my sleev Sleeve [Verse 2] She drove me out of state and out of mind And I searched for her on those West Coast nights In every little smile and stranger passin through I still see her now and then in my dreams Its like shes still callin out to me But I know that shes far gone, oh, oh [Chorus] Some people take it for a ride Let it rust outside like a brokedown Chevrolet Some people keep it inside Goin out of their mind like theyre high on cocaine Oh, I wish it wouldnt just go Throwin it around like its fools gold Oh, there aint no slowin me down I wear mine on my sleeve Sleeve [Bridge] I was as blue as those cop car lights Innocent in that cell that night She broke me down to pieces She broke me down to pieces Im still pickin up the pieces But at least its still beatin [Chorus] Some people take it for a ride Let it rust outside like a brokedown Chevrolet Some people keep it inside Goin out of their mind like theyre high on cocaine Oh, I wish it wouldnt just go Throwin it around like its fools gold Oh, there aint no slowin me down I wear mine on my sleeve Sleeve Sleeve
