So roll, roll down, rob a railroad train
Lil I rob before, dear Jessie James
Heart full of love but I'm only here to kill her
Fear that the devil may have spoke too soon
And ran through the room with a bottle of you
Fell down in a chair that was where I heard him sing
[Chorus:]
And he sang love
Is only a heartbeat away
Better save it for
The darkest of your days
And he sang love
Is only a heartbeat away
Better save it for
The darkest of your days
So I raised my glass to the Holy Ghost
Father and Son that she loved the most
St. Peter won't you please forgive her
Turn yourself an old blind eye
Damn heaven knows we tried
And now he's never heard Ma sing
[Chorus:]
And she sang love
Is only a heartbeat away
Better save it for
The darkest of your days
And she sang love
Is only a heartbeat away
Better save it for
The darkest of your days
And I know I wasn't around
Half as much as I could've
And I never let you say
Half as much as you would've
As you would've
So roll, roll down, rob a railroad train
Lil I rob before, dear Jessie James
Heart full of love but I'm only here to kill her
Remember me for mistakes I've made
I always did leave when I shoulda stayed
And oh my sins taught me how to sing
[Chorus:]
And I sang love
Is only a heartbeat away
Better save it for
The darkest of your days
And I sang love
Is only a heartbeat away
Better save it for
The darkest of your days
