A bottle of wine and an old 45 rifle in the corner
That her grandfather left her when he died
Said no surprise I've had to use it quite a few times
So j don't you ever let us down, don't you ever,
I'll have to shoot you and no one will hear a sound.

Bruised and bloody I'm lying on the ground
I am aware that I let the poor girl down
And now I'm dying, as a message to the town
This' what happens if you fuck around
If ya meddle you wan't trouble
Trouble then you should meddle
Don't ever meddle with Emily's heart.

She said get ya coat come on
To the dog track with the money right
Yea we had some fun
Left with more cos we won
I was under investigation
Of suspicion of doing her wrong
She said "you've become a villian,
Accused of a hit and run.
Said "ya hit me first" and I say it's the worst I've ever felt in a broken heart,
Said blood stains and a shirt creased, well she pays the dues.
When I left she said that your last breath will be down at the station at 2,
So she shot me down.

Bruised and bloody I'm lying on the ground
I am aware that I let the poor girl down
And now I'm dying, as a message to the town
This' what happens if you fuck around
So meddle if you wan't trouble
Trouble then you should meddle
Don't ever meddle with Emily's heart.

She said I'm a user and she's a loser with a gun
I said if you choose to it becomes hard to include anyone
So if you stay put it away or should I run?
She said I think you know the answer to your question
So for the smiles and all of the miles the engine's done
The further I drive away the closer we become
So if I stay would you put it away and forgive just one son?
She said j I think you know the answer to your question.

Bruised and bloody I'm lying on the ground
I am aware that I let the poor girl down
And now I'm dying, as a message to the town
This' what happens if you fuck around
So meddle if you wan't trouble
Trouble then you should meddle
Don't ever meddle with Emily's heart.
