Lyrics

gonna take this heart to task
gonna kick up some dust
wish i had the nerve to ask
whatever happened to us
wedding like a whirlwind
now he's got a girlfriend
i'm runnin like a dog off a chain
i'm runnin away and i'm never comin back again

it's bigger than a buffalo
longer than a doggone train
wantin just to let it go
this good for nothin ball and chain
drag it like a dead weight
feel it when it's too late
love's a lesson i haven't learned
too hot it's over quick and too little's not enough to burn

bring me bands of angels
bring love singin
ring me round with sixteen reasons to stay
just make sure that cupid's arrow's bringin
somethin worth the pain his arrow makes

wrap it up without regret
drop it in a wishing well
leave it in a poor man's cup
send it in a diving bell
oh, but don't let something sacred
lose itself to hatred
give it to the wind and the sky
to heaven where the beautiful things go when they have to die

bring me bands of angels...
