Lucinda Williams Metal Firecracker Lyrics

Once we rode together in a metal firecracker
You told me I was your queen
You told me I was your biker
You told me I was everything

Once I was in your blood
And you were obsessed with me
You wanted to paint my picture
You wanted to undress me
You wanted to see me in your future

All I ask, don't tell anybody the secrets
Don't tell anybody the secrets, I told you
All I ask, don't tell anybody the secrets
Don't tell anybody the secrets, I told you

Once you held me so tight I thought I'd lose my mind
You said, "I rocked your world"
You said, "It was for all time"
You said that "I would always be your girl"

We'd put on ZZ Top
And turn 'em up real loud
I used to think you were strong
I used to think you were proud
I used to think nothing could go wrong

All I ask, don't tell anybody the secrets
Don't tell anybody the secrets, I told you
All I ask, don't tell anybody the secrets
Don't tell anybody the secrets, I told you
