When Anne Marie told the story about
Whatever went down when they went down south
I think she left a couple key parts out
Some things she didn't wanna say
Abilene wasn't what she said
They never went to see some family friends
Those people weren't even relatives
Some things she didn't wanna say
If you twist it hard enough, it breaks apart
Once it's done, it just becomes the dust and the crumbs
Shake it up enough, it's gonna blow right up
Some sinners don't get saved
Build it up to high then it starts to tip
Tug on it enough and then it starts to rip
Push it at the signal 'til the speakers clip
That's Anne Marie and Shane
Anne Marie loves Shane so much
But sometimes Shane can get a little rough
She thinks it's just the way they brought him up
Some things he don't wanna say
Weekend nights when they went to the well
Sunday mornings shaking off the spells
A sticky center and a hardened shell
A couple months in the same hotel
If you twist it hard enough, it breaks apart
Once it's done, it just becomes the crumbs and dust
If you're gonna start tonight, the cops gonna come
I know you're not that brave
Turn it up and dry it 'til it starts to fade
Everybody's family 'til they don't get paid
Slide around a bit you know you'll probably slip
Anne Marie is dancing while Shane gets pissed
Taunted by the things they can never afford
Up and down the aisles at the liquor store
Their bodies slump over while their spirits soar
That's how the legends get made
Anne Marie came back on a bus on her own
Moved into the basement of her step-father's home
If I were you, I wouldn't even ask about Shane
Some things she didn't wanna say
