Casualty of Love Lyrics

Mama used to tell me tales
′Bout a part of town
Where people cried the blues most every day
She said, "Don't go down there, boy
You know love′ll cut you down
And you ain't yet a man, hear what I say"
She said, "Listen to me, son, it's so
Let me tell you, I′ve been down there and I know"

That on Love Street they got signs
Say, "Watch for fallen victims
Dreams get run down in the night
Lord, and yours might be the next one"
Down where lies will cut you deep
And goodbyes ain′t loaded guns
You can take one through the heart
Another casualty of a love

But still I had to find out just how love would feel
I got tangled in the arms of one gone bad
Now I sit and wait and wonder as I cry myself to sleep
Why I couldn't heed what my mama said
Now her every word rings clear as true
Now I come to realize what love can do

And why Love Street′s still got signs
Say, "Watch for fallen victims
Dreams get run down in the night
Lord, and yours might be the next one"
Down where lies will cut you deep
And goodbyes ain't loaded guns
You can take one through the heart
Another casualty of a love

Down on Love Street they got signs
Say, "Watch for fallen victims
Dreams get run down in the night
Lord, and yours might be the next one"
Down where lies will cut you deep
And goodbyes ain′t loaded guns
You can take one through the heart
Another casualty of a love
