Love is such a Heavy Burden

She was a girl who sought her pleasure with a bible on her knee
She’d rather sew then drink good whiskey and her God gave her the gift of clarity
He was a boy in constant trouble, lived his life upon a whim
Love was such a heavy burden and he hoped it troubled anyone but him

But then their fortunes came together in a tale we know so well
She said she’d like to teach him how to get to heaven and he said he’d show her how to go to hell

She was a girl in love with Jesus and the cross upon her chest
The only time her legs would open was when she laid that bible down to rest
He was a boy who thought he won her with the charms of an older man
What he never even realized was all of this was someone else’s plan
​
