[Verse 1]
Cherry ran away
She just woke up one day
And packed her truck up tight
And headed south that night
With all the windows down
She flew that dusty town
She couldn't take the pressure
Of the life we built together
[Verse 2]
Cherry didn't leave a note
Text message was all she wrote
"Peace and love and light (Peace and love)
Go find another wife"
It was like a movie
About a broken family
So I put the barrel up to my head (Barrel up to my head)
And this is what I said
[Chorus]
"Cherry, you can't hurt me anymore
And the second that you walk on through that door
I swear to God, you'll never
Hurt me any, hurt me anymore"
[Verse 3]
Cherry never the knew the meaning of love
At all, at all, at all, at all
Always knew she had a secret
She tried so damn hard to keep it
Now I pull the bottle up to my face
And this is what I say
[Chorus]
"Cherry, you can't hurt me anymore
And the second that you walk on through that door
I swear to God, you'll never
Hurt me any, hurt me anymore"
[Bridge]
What would I do if you came back to me, Cherry?
I would have to see it
If I were to believe you could change
Build me up, build me up
Just to find another way to break me down again, well
Who's in the driver's seat now?
[Verse 4]
Now she's on TV, but
Don't give her any sympathy
'Cause Cherry made her bed
While fucking with my head
Her photo was in the paper
But it didn't look anything like her
And now I finally see
That good old Cherry's me
