Broken Strings

"I've got six dollars And you've got a gun" You said let's buy some bullets Shoot things for fun Well the old rusty shed Where the turkeys roamed wild Tipped in the rainstorm We thought for awhile I left the wine In the cupboard to hide That way our friends Would know it was mine We walked the trail Stumbled on roots The tree like a dragon Withered and dried Oh but things are bound to change And everything will die But the minutes that I spent with you Were worth every dime Oh where, where did you run Did the thought of life scare you off Was there ever a chance you'd stay here with me Did things have to end to the sound of broken strings Buried the hatchet And listened to the dogs Carried my knapsack Into the woods Started the fire And saw all my friends Knew that I missed you As soon as it began Sat by the water With the moon hanging high Beaming underneath Like floodlights at the bottom Oh and things had surely changed And everything had died But the minutes that I spent with you Were still worth the while Oh where, where did you run Did the thought of life scare you off Was there ever a chance you'd stay here with me Did things have to end to the sound of broken strings
