Sometimes the best way out of a bad situation is through the door. Sometimes it isn't easy to leave....God bless the battered and broken and cause the darkness to come to light. May strength rescue the weak and may the angels have their backs!

Nearing four A.M. and closing time... He says,"one more with double lime" Meanwhile... brown eyes in the mirror gaze She takes off his ring...puts on her face Where makeup flows...more is required Those telltale signs...sure cover hard! Damn all those years...with pain condoned She'll scream no more..She's got her going on She's got her going on...in her silk Deville Love pointed south...dressed fit to kill Her cheeks are dry...her heart's a stone... 'Hell with goodbye..she's got her going on! He runs to beg...It's past too late Her burning tires.....Accentuate ! His staggered stare...meets the ice cold dawn She's outta there...Got her going on! Mid morning knock..at the front door He smiles, "She's coming... back for more"! Handcuffed.... in route...to his hoosegow home He ain't getting out.... She's got her going on!! She's got her going on...In her silk Deville..... Love pointed south...dressed fit to kill Her cheeks are dry...her heart's a stone 'Hell with goodbye...She's got her going on!

Powerful, beautifully expressed lyrics in your awesome song Chuck. So many great lines in your write but 'Her cheeks are dry...her heart's a stone' - that gets to the heart of the matter so amazingly that she's done and she's not going to take it anymore. Excellent and sounds like a country hit to me!
