Sheriffs Daughter
Reckless Love in a Two-Light Town: Sheriff's Daughter Chronicles
Lyrics
Ain't much to do in this little town
A lack of activities in the small town
Smoke some weed and sit around
Engaging in leisure by smoking weed and idling
Find a backroad we can drink on
Searching for a secluded road to drink on
We'll be right there till the morning comes
Planning to stay there until the morning
And were headed home
Heading home
Sheriff's daughter holding my right hand
The sheriff's daughter is holding the narrator's right hand
Had a bottle in the other
The narrator has a bottle in the other hand
Guess we were too young to understand
Realizing they were too young to understand their relationship
That we were bad for each other
Acknowledging their detrimental influence on each other
So I just said I loved you
Expressing love despite insincerity
And you knew i was lyin'
The narrator acknowledges lying about their feelings
And just as sure as the sky was blue
Being certain of leaving the partner in tears
Knew I'd leave you cryin'
Assuring the partner of the impending heartbreak
But that sunset faded to dark
Describing the transition from sunset to darkness
You stole my keys
The partner takes control by stealing the narrator's keys
I stole your heart
A mutual exchange of possession – keys and heart
And we went ridin'
Both go riding, continuing their journey together
If I knew then what I know now
Reflecting on the past and expressing regret
There wouldn't be no question
If the narrator knew then what they know now
But we were three sheets in a two light town
Acknowledging mistakes in a town with limited opportunities
Guess It's bout time I learned my lesson
Recognizing the need to learn from past experiences
So I just said I loved you
Repeating the expression of love despite insincerity
And you knew i was lyin'
Reiterating the acknowledgment of lying about feelings
And just as sure as his lights were blue
Being certain of causing emotional distress, like the sheriff's lights
Knew I'd leave you cryin'
Assuring the partner of the impending heartbreak, as predicted
But we put that chevy in park
Halting the journey by parking the Chevy
He took my keys
The sheriff intervenes by taking the narrator's keys
I took your heart
Another mutual exchange of possession – keys and heart
And we went ridin'
Resuming their journey after the sheriff's intervention
So I just said I loved you
Repeating the expression of love despite insincerity
And you knew i was lyin'
Reiterating the acknowledgment of lying about feelings
And just as sure as the sky was blue
Being certain of causing emotional distress, paralleling the sky
Knew I'd leave you cryin'
Assuring the partner of the impending heartbreak, as predicted
But that sunset faded to dark
Describing the transition from sunset to darkness once again
You stole my keys
The partner takes control by stealing the narrator's keys, again
I stole your heart
Another mutual exchange of possession – keys and heart
And we went ridin'
Resuming their journey, reiterating the cyclical nature of their relationship
