Painted Dirt

Intro

Oh oh

Ay

Verse 1

Staring past the rusty garden fence

Thinking things look better further west

High walls hiding every single bit of trouble

I pushed through all the rubble

Pre-Chorus

Now I am jumping

Now I am falling

Now I am seeing

Chorus

Turns out the emerald isn't real

Plastic blades and it’s a bad deal

Bad deal

Bad deal

Should have known the color was a lie

I saw the emerald in your eye

In your eye

In your eye

Drop

Bad deal

In your eye

Verse 2

Sinking feet in painted dirt

Losing more than just a lucky shirt

Iron teeth snapping right beneath the clover

Now the summer dream is over

Pre-Chorus

Now I am jumping

Now I am falling

Now I am seeing

Chorus

Turns out the emerald isn't real

Plastic blades and it’s a bad deal

Bad deal

Bad deal

Should have known the color was a lie

I saw the emerald in your eye

In your eye

In your eye

Drop

Bad deal

In your eye

Bridge

Thought the morning sun was brighter there

Found a desert and a cold glare

Slipping deeper

Sinking lower

Feeling slower

Chorus

Turns out the emerald isn't real

Plastic blades and it’s a bad deal

Bad deal

Bad deal

Should have known the color was a lie

I saw the emerald in your eye

In your eye

In your eye

Drop

Bad deal

In your eye
