The Year We Tried to Kill the Pain

Baby, do you still remember
The year we tried to kill the pain
With sex and drugs and bad intentions
Stayin' up ‘til the break of day
The road trip down to Oklahoma
The night we tried to steal a train
The day I walked in on you and Cody
I know you both felt so ashamed
Gonna take this burning heart
Stick it in the ground
Put me out of your misery
Where I almost drowned
I was on fire
I needed you
The year we tried to kill the pain
The Southern nights so warm and tender
The sun that burned your skin so brown
The blood red earth, those good bartenders
A good saloon in every town
The day we roll right into Memphis
With only thirteen dollars cash
That night we climbed the wall to Graceland
We made love there on the grass
Gonna take this burning heart
Stick it in the ground
Put me out of your misery
Where I almost drowned
I was on fire
I needed you
The year we tried to kill the pain
So fare thee well, my fallen angel
We may never meet again
I wouldn’t trade ten years in heaven
For the year we tried to kill the pain
Gonna take this burning heart
Stick it in the ground
Put me out of your misery
Where I almost drowned
I was on fire
I needed you
The year we tried to kill the pain
I was on fire
I needed you
The year we tried to kill the pain
Yeah
Oh, no
Whoa
Whoa yeah
Ooh
