Frankie Please Rodney Crowell

You tore through my life like a tornado looking for a trailer park
And your white trash mishmash short of cash culture clash hit the mark
We met on a Monday, here it is Sunday
It happened so fast, they said it wouldn't last
Yeah, but what do they know?
Why can't they say so now?

I was rackin' up points in the dives and the joints on the edge of town
Shootin' pool, playin' cool, trying to get some other fool to buy another round
Yeah, you rattle my brain like a runaway train
You scattered my past like a dynamite blast
You're some kind of woman Frankie
Stand up and take a bow

Frankie please, don't ever give me the deep freeze
And your P's and Q's and don'ts and dos are all the news that light my fuse
Don't change nothing, not on a dare
Ever since you hit here I've been walking on air
I didn't see you coming Frankie
Now I can't let you go

You stole into my heart like a thief with the cutting torch, did you not?
Your can't miss, first kiss told me this, don't resist what you got
All out of nowhere, I'm caught in your crosshair
Shagged, fragged, bagged, tagged
It's like I lost every battle
But still I won the war
