Bullets And Blood Lyrics

I met my love at college in my junior year

But when I brought him home it was worse than I feared

"You ain't no son of mine", my Daddy made it clear

And that was that

Never going back

Caught in a parking lot, late one August night

Four good ole boys with baseball bats, didn't think our love was right

If it wasn't for the cop car cruising by

We'd have been alone

With more than broken bones

Bullets and blood

Can't stop this love

Bullets and blood

Are not enough

To stop this love

They did their best to run us out of town

Gave us a welcome that was worthy of the South

Three bullet holes through the kitchen door remind me how

We have to hide

Or pay the price

Bullets and blood

Can't stop this love

Bullets and blood

Are not enough

To stop this love

One cold winter, he woke up and couldn't breathe

Raced him to emergency for some surgery

Wouldn't let me visit him in his time of need

They told me

You're not family

We got married when the laws began to change

Couldn't do it here, had to travel out of state

After twenty years, I could finally take his hand and say

Please be mine

For all time

Bullets and blood

Can't stop this love

Bullets and blood

Are not enough

To stop this love
