So we set out in the country
Where we laid our blues away
There was nothing, nothing but running
And their ain't no place to stay
So she thanked us both for coming
On her tears I pray
She had lost him in the crossfire
On that winters day
You don’t feel her pain
So we talked about her lover
He goes by Johnny Jay
When we asked her if he loved her
She just turned her head in shame
He was loaded locked and broken
Out to settle his score
He’d been cheated, she had spoken
Of a man who she loved more
You don’t feel her pain
He won’t feel again
Now she’s drinking by the window
Her hair is long and grey
When we ask her what she’s thinking
She just moves her lips to say
Oh but nothing, she’s got nothing
But her hands to pray
On her lover the one who loved her
She let him slip away
You don’t feel her pain
She won't live again
