Chop me down like the Woods

Chop me down like the Woods

baby don’t you know you leave me standing here in the rain

you know you make me crazy, always running in my brain

voices coming in from a far away place

I never measure distance, no finish line in this race

I have never bled more than when you cut me down

you got me real good, theyre talking all over town

You make me feel when there is nothing left

you hurt me the most when you make me feel good

I know it will never last

You chop me down like the woods

you got me driving fast and you know i’m going nowhere

I can see you hanging out, I see the sun in your hair

don’t know what I’m thinking I just got this pedal down

sometimes youre laughin at me, but I keep comin around

baby dont you know you got me circling the block

just wanna hear your voice, just wanna hear you talk

You make me feel when there is nothing left

you hurt me the most when you make me feel good

I know it will never last

You chop me down like the woods

my heart is moving like a flag in a hurricane

cant keep it off my face, turning up into the rain

tires spinning like the world going round and round

you build me up today, tomorrow just knock me down

turning up the radio just to drown out the noise

tell me you love me, then go see other boys

you hurt me the most everytime you make me feel good

you swing the axe, just chop me down like the woods

it always hurts me most when you make me feel good

you got my number baby, chop me down like the woods
