Story Behind The Song
While playing music and traveling we found mutual situations where we have had plenty of warning we were losing someone we cared greatly about but ignored it to our relationship demise.
Song Description
A play on words about loving someone but still wanting to run free. While doing so your lover gives you enough rope to hang yourself and you do.

Lyrics
Rope
Words and music by Alan Cartee & Jon Moore

Well I wanted to run free
So you gave me some rope
Admit I made a mistake
Now I wanna come home
Gonna leave me hanging and dangling
Like I did, like I did to you (yeah)
Gonna leave me hanging and dangling
Like I did, like I did to you
Gave me enough rope to hang myself
Yea you did and yes I did
Gave me enough rope to hang myself
Yea you did and yes I did
Thought your love was too serious
It?s choking me cut me some slack
So I left you fell in love with someone else
Now I want you back
Chorus
Now, you got the rhythm and I got the blues
Too late to put on my dancing shoes
While you?re partying with everybody else
I?m hanging here lonely all by myself
Chorus out
