Got the right words, got the right way
But pull back the curtain and take a look
Just a small town boy that got no love
He came to the city years ago
Hayseed climbin that mountain good
To you and I and the rest it would seem
He made some bad choices in a bad dream
Chorus:
Now to him she's the most beautiful thing
This boy has ever seen
But she knows from the start
She's gonna protect her heart
She's been around a time or two
Knows the wolves live in the wood
Come out to prey on hearts and dreams
Promises made turn out to no good
Now they dance the dance, but
No one wants to take the chance
Life is hard, they've been hurt before
Got commitments, baggage, rules of war
Chorus:
Now to him she's the most beautiful thing
This boy has ever seen
But she knows from the start
She's gonna protect her heart
(Solo Bridge)
They found her face down, she hadn't come back
Ran him down to a hunters' shack
A revolver in his hand, in the blood
Just a small town boy that got no love
Chorus:
Now to him she's the most beautiful thing
This boy has ever seen
But she knows from the start
She's gonna protect her heart
