Down To Her Socks

(Kris Kristofferson)



Here's a song about a good ole girl

With a big ole heart that got broke

'Cause she was in love with some son of a bitch

Who didn't love her back enough.



Slowly she sank to her knees on the floor

Cursing the freedom she'd won

From the torture she vowed not to take anymore

And the victim she'd almost become.



For a lady who'd learned all there is about leavin'

She sure took a long time to go

But he loved her right down to her socks and no further

And her feet were the last ones to know.



You see the problem is sometimes when you

Take a good stiff shot to the heart

It kinda stuns you it takes a while for the message to get down

To your feet to get you out of trouble.



So you stand there like some old fighter takin' punishment

You don't even know you're takin'

But one day you wake up and look down at your feet

And find they're just walking you away from me.



For a lady who'd learned all there is about leavin'

She sure took a long time to go

But he loved her right down to her socks and no further

And her feet were the last ones to know...
