Lyrics

Hogtied Heart copyright 2015
Written by Ryan Boey, Ken Matthiesen, Jackson Gulick

Like handcuffs, she has me wrapped up
I am a prisoner, a victim of her one way train
She dealt her love drug, I felt her hot buzz
Her kiss sent poison running through my veins

I should of, should of, should of seen the cold cloud coming
When the chugga chugga chugga had the other men runnin'

Here she comes
Here she comes
The devil herself's 'bout to jack me up

(Chorus)
My hogtied heart is killing me now
It's strapped to the rails while the train barrels down
I close my eyes, counting down from ten
Ready for the wreck that's just around the bend

Here she comes..here she comes...here she comes
Here she comes..here she comes...here she comes

v2
Like a bad dream, where I can't scream
I am a captive, a sucker for her dark brown eyes
Somebody wake me, I'm in a deep sleep
Her loco motive has got me hypnotized

I should of, should of, should of seen warning signs flashing
When the chugga chugga chugga brings my love life crashing
Here she comes
Here she comes
The devil herself's 'bout to jack me up

(Chorus)
My hogtied heart is killing me now
It's strapped to the rails while the train barrels down
I close my eyes, counting down from ten
Ready for the wreck that's just around the bend

Here she comes..here she comes...here she comes
Here she comes..here she comes...here she comes

(bridge)
There ain't no light at the end of this tunnel
I got a one way ticket on this graveyard hellbound shuttle
If I can hear you laughing you can hear me dying
I've never heard a whistle blow like a broken heart crying

(chorus)
My hogtied heart is killing me now
It's strapped to the rails while the train barrels down
I close my eyes, counting down from ten
Ready for the wreck that's just around the bend

Here she comes..here she comes...here she comes
Here she comes..here she comes...here she comes
Here she comes..here she comes...here she comes
Ready for the wreck that is just around the bend





Bad news...this isn't bluegrass...good news it's a great song ala country blues or Americana rock...wow what a fresh contagious groove...it was full of energy...loved it...great vocal...I had a little trouble making out the few words right before just around the bend...other than that I was entertained and I really enjoyed listening to your song...very strong lyrics, phrasing and well crafted catchy memorable melodic lines
