The road was long and winding
The road was long and winding
The moon was shining bright
The moon was shining bright
Her skin felt warm like a summer breeze
Her skin de ella felt warm like a summer breeze
But her heart was cold as ice
But her heart de ella was cold as ice
Well, she left home that morning
Well, she left home that morning
Hound dogs on her trail
Hound dogs on her trail
No one ever believed she'd have done it
No one ever believed she'd have done it
She never thought she'd live to tell the tale of the butcher's son
She never thought she'd live to tell the tale of the butcher's son
He had charm and money
He had charm and money
She had style and grace
She had style and grace
All the little girls lined up outside his door
All the little girls lined up outside his door
All the little boys, they dreamed about her sweet sweet face
All the little boys, they dreamed about her sweet sweet face
Then one day it happened
Then one day it happened
Beneath the clear blue autumn sky
Beneath the clear blue autumn sky
They kissed each other down by the riverside
They kissed each other down by the riverside
And they vowed to live the rest of their lives side by side
And they vowed to live the rest of their lives side by side
Time rolled on
Time rolled on
The fire began to fade
The fire began to fade
She worked long hours in the butcher shop
She worked long hours in the butcher shop
He fooled around all over town, he thought he had it made
He fooled around all over town, he thought he had it made
Late one night he came stumbling in
Late one night he came stumbling in
Smelling like wine and cheap perfume
Smelling like wine and cheap perfume
She said 'I'm sick and tired of your transgressions
She said 'I'm sick and tired of your transgressions
If you don't cut it out, well, I'll be leaving here real soon
If you don't cut it out, well, I'll be leaving here real soon
That's the night everything changed
That's the night everything changed
He pushed her hard down to the floor
He pushed her hard down to the floor
She sat there stunned, she couldn't believe it
She sat there stunned, she couldn't believe it
He said, 'I'd sooner see you dead than walking out that door
He said, 'I'd sooner see you dead than walking out that door
The violence just got worse from there
The violence just got worse from there
He slapped her around just about every other day
He slapped her around just about every other day
She tried to tell her friends but they wouldn't listen
She tried to tell her friends about her but they wouldn't listen
How could such a perfect man ever even think about acting that way
How could such a perfect man ever even think about acting that way
She landed in the hospital one night
She landed in the hospital one night
Broken jaw and two black eyes
Broken jaw and two black eyes
He told everyone she'd been getting kind of clumsy
He told everyone she'd been getting kind of clumsy
And they believed every last word of his wicked lies
And they believed every last word of his wicked lies
One night while he was drunk asleep
One night while he was drunk asleep
She slipped down to the butcher shop
She slipped down to the butcher shop
Sharpened up the biggest blade in the whole damn place
She sharpened up the biggest blade in the whole damn place
Went upstairs and split his head wide open with one big chop
She went upstairs and split his head wide open with one big chop
Now she's on the run
Now she's on the run
She just left it all behind
She just left it all behind
Freedom never tasted so bitter sweet
Freedom never tasted so bitter sweet
She ain't sure where to go, or what she might find
She ain't sure where to go, or what she might find
So let this be a lesson to all you men
So let this be a lesson to all you men
Violence just ain't no good way
Violence just ain't no good way
And don't go cheatin' on the ones you love
And don't go cheatin' on the ones you love
Instead, let love and kindness guide you on your way
Instead, let love and kindness guide you on your way
