She was doing 60 in a 35
I hit the lights and pulled her over
When I reached the window of the driver side
There was blood from her mouth, dry on her shoulder

I´ve never had much patience for guys that hit
For more than just obvious reasons
I asked if she wanted me to take him in
She laughed it off like lemonade

When you´re in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
You´ll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
People do desperate things

I´ve been taking lunch breaks at her work
When the restaurant ain´t too crowded
She knows me and my wife got a little girl
We don´t talk too much about it
The other night she met me way out west

Things went further than they should have
But when she undid the buttons of her dress
I didn´t stop her, but I could have

When you´re in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
You´ll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
People do desperate things

I know where he drinks most every night
It´s our local hero sports bar
I´ve got him cuffed and sweating cold
In the back of my patrol car
You forget how dark the canyon gets
It´s a real uneasy feeling

I´ve never had much patience for guys who hit
For more than just obvious reasons

When you´re in love, you can be blinded by your own heart
You´ll bend your own truth, so twisted up you could justify sin
And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams
People do desperate things
