It all began in this prayed up town

I turned and ran as we were taking our vows
Em C G
It sure is hard to run in a wedding gown
G Em7
So I stole your car, and ran it through your heart

And the radio was on, playing last year's song

And if you're listening now, can I get through somehow?

You know I never did you wrong
