Shades of Gray Lyrics

Driving down a Tennessee mountain with a trucker on my heels

I can smell his brakes burning I hear his tires squeal

Funny how you see something coming a mile away

Knowing damn well you should move on but you stay there anyway

And don't switch lanes

You don't switch lanes

I stood over a cliff with my arms spread open wide

Ready to let go and fall to the bottom willingly by your side

But you won't jump so I can catch you

And I won't leave so I can rescue you

Just in case you do

Just in case you do

The heart is just an organ

But mine has been well played

Performing hymns of a religion that's starting to fade

When I say I love you, I mean it

And they're only words but I know you've seen it

Even now

Even now

So I'll play of you with my fingers and I'll sing of you with my lips

I'll measure how much you want me by the dampness between your hips

So go on shoot off your nose just to spit your face

And I'll wear your garter of the thorns tied with ribbons and lace

In your shades of gray

In your shades of gray
