Two people under bedsheets
One unrelenting heartbeat
One unrequited belief
Two fools in a one-horse town
Two people under bedsheets
One wallowing in defeat
One crumbling under heat
Two fools in a one-horse town
MM

Two people under bedsheets
One liar in the hot seat
Why cry over a deadbeat?
Two fools in a one-horse town
Two people under bedsheets
One shivering with cold feet
One suffocating lover
One fool in a wedding gown
MM

Outside, the world is turning
A different life you're yearning
But you just sit there burning
Lying in his fire
And, all the while, you're learning
Hope you're yearning
You just sit there burning
Lying in his fire

Two people under bedsheets
Two fists to play around with
One has to keep her mouth shut
Victims of a one-horse town
Two people under bedsheets
One does whatever he pleases
And one tries to speak to Jesus
But Jesus won't hear a sound
MM

Outside, the world is turning
A different life you're yearning
But you just sit there burning
Lying in his fire
And, all the while, you're learning
Hope you're learning
That you just sit there burning
Lying in his fire

Two people under bedsheets
Two children raising children
The same mistakes keep building
It's a mess of a one-horse town
It's a mess of a one-horse town
It's a mess of a one-horse town
It's a mess of a one-horse town
It's a mess of a one-horse town
