BLOODIED AND BRUSIED

(Verse 1) Blackened, bloodied, and blues runnin' in my cowboy boots, From a no-good woman like you, with your heart that shoots. You left me broken, shattered, and torn apart, In this lonesome saloon, with a broken heart. (Chorus) Oh, blackened, bloodied, and blues, Darlin', what did you expect me to choose? You rode off into the sunset without a care, Leavin' me with nothin' but this despair. (Verse 2) I'm drownin' in whiskey, drownin' in pain, Tryin' to wash away your memory, but it's all in vain. Your love was like a desert, hot and dry, But now I'm stranded in this desert, under the burning sky. (Chorus) Oh, blackened, bloodied, and blues, Darlin', why'd you leave me with these dues? You rode off into the sunset without a trace, Leavin' me with nothin' but this empty space. (Bridge) I'm walkin' these dusty roads, with no destination in sight, Just tryin' to outrun the ghosts of you that haunt me every night. But no matter how far I roam, or how fast I ride, Your memory's like a shadow, always by my side. (Verse 3) I'm a cowboy with no home, a wanderer in the night, Cursed by your love, and this endless fight. But someday, darlin', I'll break free from these chains, And find a love that won't leave me blackened, bloodied, and blues in my veins. (Chorus) Oh, blackened, bloodied, and blues, One day I'll find a love that's true. But until then, I'll keep ridin' through the pain, With these blackened, bloodied, and blues in my cowboy's refrain.
