Bound For Heartache

There she stood at five foot two
Leaning on a grimey old pole
She was singing some pop country song
Like it could manufacture her new soul

She’d been out at the governors ball
And god damnit she was high
With her smoke machines lighting up
Purple and green
She was flashing like a warning sign

She slurred her speech
As we stopped with a screech
And she bid an incoherent farewell
She’s a sweet sweet girl and she's bound
For heartache along that metro trail

From what I could make out
She’d been tryin to find a man
Who she could make her own
But she’s been looking at the faces
In all the wrong places
Cause she's crying on the train ride home

I shared a bit of wisdom
From the heartaches of my past
I’m an old soul man
But I’m careless like a child
Everytime my love and I crossed paths

She slurred her speech
As we stopped with a screech
And she bid an incoherent farewell
She’s a sweet sweet girl and she's bound
For heartache along that metro trail

Can’t leave a girl like that on a street so flat
She's gonna hit the pavement like a stone
She’s a sweet sweet girl and she's bound
For heartache
Crying on the train ride home

She slurred her speech
As we stopped with a screech
And she bid an incoherent farewell
She’s a sweet sweet girl and she's bound
For heartache along that metro trail

She’s a sweet sweet girl and she's bound for heartache
Along that metro trail
