Lyrics
Verse 1
Dust
On my boots
Thick red clay on my Sunday suit
We both saw her by the well
Drinking water
Cool water
Now the air is getting hotter
I saw her first
I have the thirst
My heart is ready to burst
Chorus
She can't love us both
She can't love us both
One of us stays
One of us goes
Best friends since the cradle
Now we're shaking at the table
She can't love us both
Verse 2
Rope
Tied tight
Around a bridge in the middle of the night
You claim she smiled at your horse
Maybe so
Maybe not
I think she likes what I got
Dirty deals
Spinning wheels
Tell me how your conscience feels
Chorus
She can't love us both
She can't love us both
One of us stays
One of us goes
Best friends since the cradle
Now we're shaking at the table
She can't love us both
Bridge
Put the iron down
Put the iron down
Put the iron down
We walked through fire
We walked through rain
We walked through pain
Is a girl worth the hole in your chest
Is a girl worth a permanent rest
Verse 3
Sun
Coming up
Pour some rye in a tin cup
Look at me
Look at you
We are acting like fools
I'd rather lose her
Than bury you
I'd rather lose her
Than lose a brother
Go ahead and take her
Go ahead and take her
Chorus
She can't love us both
She can't love us both
One of us stays
One of us goes
Best friends since the cradle
Now we're shaking at the table
She can't love us both
Outro
I'm riding west
You take the girl
I'm riding west
Ride away
Ride away
Ride away
