Lyrics

TRADED HER LOVE

He looked something like a young Paul Newman
Cool Hand, with no Sundance Kid
Turns out he could have used somebody
To watch his back Â?cause he never did

And thatÂ?s where all the trouble came
She said, Â?Hello, I heard every note you sang.
Now write something for me.Â?

She traded her love for his song
He wrote this one that night, and that was all
She traded her love for his song
And when he woke up both were gone

She wore the clothes of a New York model
But acted like sheÂ?s from Tennessee
It turns out she had some his of everything
Like she was born from his memory

And thatÂ?s where sheÂ?s residing now
He grows old at the bar and wonders how
She wrecked his life in a night

When she traded her love for his song
She made off with the words and their meaning
When she traded her love for his song
And he has never carried on

It wasnÂ?t ever even
She was holding everything
And he was only holding one thing she could use
And so, she used him all

She traded her love for his song
