Bad Examples

(Randy Owen)



It's her first night on the town since she was just eighteen

A lady down on love and out of hope and dreams

The ties that once bound her now are broke away

And she's like a baby, just learning how to play



She never thought that love could ever end so soon

Her mind drifts back in time to a mid-summer moon

When he asked her to marry and she glady said O.K

And a woman came to be from the girl of yesterday



Now she's a lady down on love

She needs somebody to gentley pick her up

She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound

To a man who would love her and never let her down



Well, I know a lady that's down on her love

'Cause I used to hold her and have that special touch

But work took me a way from home late at nights

And I wasn't there when she turned out the lights

Then both of us got lonely and I gave into lust

And she just couldn't live with a man she couldn't trust



Now she's a lady down on love

She needs somebody to gently pick her up

She's got her freedom, but she'd rather be bound

To man who would love her and never let her down

Now she's a lady down on love
