LYRICS:
She wears her rosary so well
He’s out of touch and she’s too sweet to tell him
Dons her acrylics, oxblood lips to paint the cynic in her
She saves her grace for someone else

She casts her hook into the water
He’s half asleep and she says, “Just a little longer, my love”
Time will tell if this place she worked so hard to find
Will feed her like she thinks she knows it will

You ain't as far as you think, Belladonna
A couple miles a couple drinks
Just hold on, you know you're still somebody's daughter
Belladonna, you ain't as far as you think

He looks like too much like his father
He’s getting lost tonight and hopes she’ll come along with him
says, “Bella, I love you, but your prayers won’t bring an answer”
Thinking he’s got what it takes to change her mind

He tries his luck at the casino
She begs to leave and he says, “Just a little longer my love”
Cool as fall ‘til all hell breaks loose
Lost their money then his temper, and Bella too

You ain't as far as you think, Belladonna
A couple miles a couple drinks
Just hold on, you know you're still somebody's daughter
Belladonna, you ain't as far as you think

The morning broke in through the window
Woke up a drunk man from a dream he can’t remember
Sunlight reminds him of Hellfire and pride
And Belladonna’s gone without a goodbye

She makes a dent in the Lincoln Highway
She’s half asleep and whispers, “Just a little longer, my love”
Only God knows where the spirit’s gonna lead her
She ain’t looking back at what she left behind

You ain't as far as you think, Belladonna
A couple miles a couple drinks
Just hold on, you know you're still somebody's daughter
Belladonna, you ain't as far as you think
