Lyrics
Down To The Bone
© 2014 Donovan Tucker
& Dianne MacAdam BMI
He went back to his old lover
After all this time apart
When he told me all along
He threw their love away
He could not recover
The broken pieces of his heart
And if he saw her face again
It'd be a cold day - a cold day in Hell
I bet it rains today out in Arizona
And the sun sets in the east on my drive home
The lake of fire is finally freezing over
And the Devil feels a chill down to the bone
I hope the Devil feels a chill down to the bone
Didn't know he was deceiving
I was putty in his hands
I soon let my guard down
'Cause he had me from the start
Next thing I know he's leaving
For the girl he couldn't stand
I never saw it coming
And that's the hardest part - the hardest part
Chorus
Bridge
I guess stranger things have happened
Than him leaving me
It's just something I was sure I'd never see
Chorus
