lyrics

A fistful of dollars, and I still came up short
Tried to play our game, but I ended up hurt
I played it by the numbers, but in the end I learned
You can never trust a pretty face till the last card is turned

Well I knew you were a temptress when we started way back then
But a woman’s whispers can erase the minds of men
When you had enough of my heart, you went and ripped it from my chest
Sometimes a book judged by its cover, is a book judged by its best

Go on, keep the pieces, of my broken heart
I don’t think that I’m ever going to need it
Not in a world this dark

What, you said you’re sorry, heard it all before
Now it wont clean the bloodstains from my knuckles on the door
Don’t think you’ll catch me crying, find me laying on the floor
Because jezebel got her justice girl,
Then I’m sure you’ll get yours, I’ll swear you’ll get yours

Go on, keep the pieces, of my broken heart
I don’t think that I’m ever going to need it
Not in a world this dark

Don’t know where I’m going, I just know I can’t go home
Photographs and memories that are laughing cause they know
I thought we had a love that lasts, it was a picture-perfect kind
But it was nothing but a fairy tail made up in my mind

Go on, keep the pieces, of my broken heart
I don’t think that I’m ever going to need it
Not in a world this dark

about

The Muddy Crows Washington, D.C.

The Muddy Crows are an exciting award-winning* Modern Americana Roots-Rock group fronted by singer & songwriter Dan Wolff. Their sound has been described as a fascinating mix of Modern-Folk (Lumineers, Vance Joy), Beatles harmonies, classic rock hooks (Rolling Stones and Eagles) and lyrics reminiscent of 70’s storytellers such as Tom Waits and Jim Croce.
