[00:17.72]She was doing sixty in a thirty-five
[00:24.43]I hit the lights and pulled her over
[00:31.43]When I reached the window of the driver side
[00:38.16]There was blood from her mouth dry on her shoulder
[00:44.50]I've never had much patience for guys that hit
[00:51.66]For more than just obvious reasons
[00:58.66]I asked if she wanted me to take him in
[01:05.25]She laughed it off like lemonade
[01:12.49]When you're in love you can be blinded by your own heart
[01:20.96]You'll bend your own truth so twisted up you could justify sin
[01:30.11]And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
[01:38.43]People do desperate things
[01:52.69]I've been taking lunch breaks at her work
[01:59.55]When the restaurant ain't too crowded
[02:06.07]She knows me and my wife got a little girl
[02:13.00]We don't talk too much about it
[02:19.78]The other night she met me way out west
[02:26.63]Things went further than they should have
[02:32.91]But when she undid the buttons of her dress
[02:40.04]I didn't stop her but I could have
[02:47.52]When you're in love you can be blinded by your own heart
[02:56.19]You'll bend your own truth so twisted up you could justify sin
[03:04.75]And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
[03:13.54]People do desperate things
[03:27.66]I know where he drinks most every night
[03:34.69]It's our local hero sports bar
[03:41.71]I've got him cuffed and sweating cold
[03:48.16]In the back of my patrol car
[03:54.90]You forget how dark the canyon gets
[04:01.79]It's a real uneasy feeling
[04:08.21]I've never had much patience for guys who hit
[04:15.42]For more than just obvious reasons
[04:22.93]When you're in love you can be blinded by your own heart
[04:31.66]You'll bend your own truth so twisted up you could justify sin
[04:40.34]And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
[04:49.10]People do desperate things

She was doing sixty in a thirty-five
I hit the lights and pulled her over
When I reached the window of the driver side
There was blood from her mouth dry on her shoulder
I've never had much patience for guys that hit
For more than just obvious reasons
I asked if she wanted me to take him in
She laughed it off like lemonade
When you're in love you can be blinded by your own heart
You'll bend your own truth so twisted up you could justify sin
And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
People do desperate things
I've been taking lunch breaks at her work
When the restaurant ain't too crowded
She knows me and my wife got a little girl
We don't talk too much about it
The other night she met me way out west
Things went further than they should have
But when she undid the buttons of her dress
I didn't stop her but I could have
When you're in love you can be blinded by your own heart
You'll bend your own truth so twisted up you could justify sin
And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
People do desperate things

For more than just obvious reasons
When you're in love you can be blinded by your own heart
You'll bend your own truth so twisted up you could justify sin
And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
People do desperate things
