Down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love's what I'm takin'
Heart's are what I'm breakin'

There's a strong man lives up in Jackson hole
Took my heart, and he broke my soul
Left a dark place in my chest
I sleep, but I don't rest
I sleep, but I don't rest

So, down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's are what I'm breakin'

Met a little boy in Baton Rouge
His eyes were clear, and his heart was true
I made that boy's heart scream my name
But he didn't know the game
But we didn't know the game

So, down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's are what I'm breakin'

You don't want to be standin' there
When the storm hits, you won't have a prayer
My wind will blow you to your knees
Stay away from me
Stay away from me
Stay away from me

Oh yeah, down is where I'm goin'
Pain is what I'm showin'
Love is what I'm takin'
Heart's are what I'm breakin'
Heart's are what I'm breakin'
