Southpaw Songtext
von Andrew Duhon

I used to think a Southpaw
Would make a pretty good outlaw
Cuz when your looking for a quick draw
That′s when I hit you with the curveball

I played my guitar all night
Its the only thing I do right
And you were giving me the tattoos
That money can't buy
If I wanted to make you mine
Guess I should have made up my mind

Left handed love letters
Is all I seem to write
Left handed love letters
Is all I seem to write


And you were reading between the lines
Of me dragging my feet
You were reading between the lines of me
Dragging my hand across the ink
You were reading between the lines
Of me dragging my feet
Dragging my hand across the ink that ain′t dry

When we were alone
Couldn't keep our hands off
But your heart held its own
In a Mexican standoff

I held your hand by the firelight
That's the other thing I did right
And you looked me in the eye
Even when I made you cry

Left handed love letters
Is all I seem to write
Left handed love letters
Is all I seem to write

And you were reading between the lines
Of me dragging my feet
Yea you were reading between the lines
Of me dragging my hand across the ink
You were reading between the lines of me dragging my feet
Dragging my hand across the ink that ain′t dry


Ooh you little outlaw you
Somehow you knew I′d never outdraw you
Even as I lie bleeding
Somehow all I feel is proud of you

Left handed love letters
Is all I seem to write
Left handed love letters
Is all I seem to write

And you were reading between the lines
Of me dragging my feet
Yea you were reading between the lines
Of me dragging my hand across the ink
And you told me
There's a difference ′tween taking your time and dragging your feet
Dragging my hand across the ink that ain't dry

I used to think a Southpaw would make a pretty good outlaw
