[Verse 1] Had my first drink before I could drive Mama left it on the counter half-full one night Felt the fire in my chest, shook the hand Of the fair and dark-haired lad
[Verse 2] He crept through the boards, hid behind the door Now he ain't got a reason to hide no more Took the seat at the table that my daddy once had The fair and dark-haired lad
[Verse 3] He's got no hands, but I'm in his grip His burning kiss lands on my lips It lingers like a love gone bad The fair and dark-haired lad
[Verse 4] He's got no voice but he calls my name I feel his blood running through my veins His laughter howls like a dog gone mad The fair and dark-haired lad
[Verse 5] I look in the mirror, I see him there Bloodshot eyes and a vacant stare He took everything I ever had The fair and dark-haired lad
[Verse 6] Turn the engine over, roll the windows down Left a note to tell 'em where I'm bound I say goodbye, tip my hat To the fair and dark-haired lad
