The Fence

I was rolling through every one-horse town
No brake lights on my truck
No plans for settling down
Just trying not to get stuck
Somewhere with someone
Like an old boy on the run
Wasn't looking back
Yeah, I was fine with that

I was hell on wheels
You were heaven sent
I wouldn't know a good deal
You didn't mind a bit
You stopped me, you caught me
Roped all my crazy in
I was a tumbleweed just blowing in the wind
Thank God, girl, that you were the fence

Don't know where the hell I'd be right now
If you weren't standing there to slow me down
But you wrapped me up when you didn't have to
Coulda opened the gates and I'da rolled on through
I'd still be spinning
But thank God you didn't

'Cause I was hell on wheels
You were heaven sent
I wouldn't know a good deal
You didn't mind one bit
You stopped me, you caught me
Roped all my crazy in
I was a tumbleweed just blowing in the wind
Thank God, girl, that you were the fence
Yeah, you were the fence

Right there in the way
Wrecking all my reckless ways
Ain't it crazy how sometimes the wind can change?

I was hell on wheels
You were heaven sent
I wouldn't know a good deal
You didn't mind a bit
You stopped me, you caught me
Roped all my crazy in
I was a tumbleweed just blowing in the wind
Thank God, girl, that you were the fence
