Lyrics

Crank Heart

Telling your son a joke
He doesn't think is funny
"We'll catch him unaware but
What if he doesn't wear underwear"

Lighting it up
You were so cool
Her school colors
Black and light black
Giving it up
She has started
Your life's colors
Black and light black

Getting your hair from under your bed
Breaking your fingers
Getting killed by a car
Before you can make him pay
