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
