Down to Her Socks
guitar chords lyrics
(Kris Kristofferson)
Here's a song about a good ole girl
With a big ole heart that got broke
'Cause she was in love with some son of a bitch
Who didn't love her back enough.
Slowly she sank to her knees on the floor
Cursing the freedom she'd won
From the torture she vowed not to take anymore
And the victim she'd almost become.
For a lady who'd learned all there is about leavin'
She sure took a long time to go
But he loved her right down to her socks and no further
And her feet were the last ones to know.
You see the problem is sometimes when you
Take a good stiff shot to the heart
And her feet were the last ones to know.
You see the problem is sometimes when you
Take a good stiff shot to the heart
It kinda stuns you it takes a while for the message to get down
To your feet to get you out of trouble.
So you stand there like some old fighter takin' punishment
You don't even know you're takin'
But one day you wake up and look down at your feet
And find they're just walking you away from me.
For a lady who'd learned all there is about leavin'
She sure took a long time to go
But he loved her right down to her socks and no further
And her feet were the last ones to know...
