True Love Way

I want in, like a substitute
I’ve been workin’ awful hard for you
But you don’t say, you just hold your breath
So I can’t touch what I haven’t yet
She’s a cold one, and it hurts me so
It’s a dark path, and a heck of a toll
She could kill me just like she did before

Oh we’d be so free
Happy alone
Sharin’ a smile
So far from home

Pushin’ and a pullin’ weight
It’s the hard part, but the true love way
Girl you’re wanted like a wanted man
With your smart mouth and your killer hand
We could both share all that I have made
For a young man, it’s a heck of a wage
I'm still crazy when I see your face

‘Cause we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharin’ a smile
So far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh ‘till we cried
Makin’ up songs
You're makin’ me lie

And people say our babies are walkin’ this town
And few say our babies are walkin’ this town
And few say our babies just wanderin’ around
And people say our babies are walkin’

We'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharin’ a smile so far from home
And we would laugh
Laugh ‘till we cried
Makin’ up songs
You're makin’ me lie
Happy alone
