Lyrics

PIECE A' PAPER

Signed the paper today. Agreed to disagree.
Gave you your freedom. You gave mine to me.
Did not see it comin'. No, I failed to read the signs.
Part of me died today when ya' signed upon that line.

Gone in a minute what took so long to build.
Ink upon the paper. Now the past is sealed.
Just a piece a' paper, which said it all so well:
That a house is not a home, and my life's a livin' hell.

CHORUS

Just a piece a' paper, words wrote down by man.
Just a piece a' paper took the rings off our hands.
Just a piece of paper tore my world apart.
This little piece a' paper was a knife right through my heart.

Ask me how I am. Ya' just might get a lie.
Know I'm full grown now, and grown men should not cry.
But if the truth were known, and you would not tell,
I'd say that, since she's gone, my life's an empty shell.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Yes, this little piece a' paper was a knife
right through my heart.
