Cold smoke down the river shore
Took a big breath, but I could hardly choke
Weeping willow, moaning like a lonesome ghost
Kerosene soaking through a six-foot rope, but I'll wait
Cold is my heart, it follows me everywhere I go
Down the line, back to North Carolina
'Cause I'm a bad apple, darling, but you know you want a bite
Lost mind on her daddy's dime
Somewhere out rolling on the county line
Shacked up in a car, when the rope got too far
Kindly remove my heart from your jaws, and I'll wait, hey
Cold is my heart, you follow me everywhere I go
Down the line, back to North Carolina
'Cause I'm a bad apple, darling, but you know you want a bite
I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know
Heaven was full, so I rambled on
I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know
Heaven was full, so I rambled on
Hook, line, sinker, baby
Lord knows I don't need maybe's
Looking to the sky, I don't need saving
Pretty soon, I'll be pushing daisies and I'll wait, hey
Cold is my heart, you follow me everywhere I go
Down the line, back to North Carolina
'Cause I'm a bad apple, darling, but you know you want a bite, yeah
I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know
Heaven was full, so I rambled on
I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know
Heaven was full, so I rambled on
