Long before the screen door slammed, she was out of xenia
A stranger could have loved that town but she had to leave
I wish i'd gotten to know her before i fell in love
I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this cautionary tale
But i swore i'd be true and i'll swear and i'll swear 'til kitten's out of jail
It was like a tv show, the way she stole that car
Easy now to criticize, easy now to talk
I thought my luck was changing, i guess i was wrong
I could say who's to blame, say who's the man in this cautionary tale
But i swore i'd be true and i'll swear and i'll swear 'til kitten's out of jail
Didn't want to be a slave
Just turned out that way
I wish i'd gotten to know her before i fell in love
I could say she's to blame, say she's the man in this cautionary tale
But i swore i'd be true and i'll swear and i'll swear 'til kitten's out of jail
