Lyrics
She was never meant to be
The wife of some old man
It was her destiny
She like living off the land
Her Mama was a fallen Angel
She always shared her smoke
Her hair was gold and tangled
This was the last song that she wrote
The roses are gone but I still have my friends
The songs have all been sung
Playing covers from the dead
Living in a empty room
These strangers are my kin
I can’t wait to get on the road
You can feel the adrenaline
(Chorus)
She was married to the summer
She was always on the run
She”ll be a hundred miles away
She”ll be a hundred miles away
When the morning comes
(Verse)
She was sitting right next to me
And the stars were overhead
She loved my company she liked singing with the band
She was a recluse belladonna
With a sacred heart of gold
I hope someone was there when the light drained from her soul
(Chorus)
She was married to the summer
She was always on the run
She”ll be a hundred miles away
She”ll be a hundred miles away
When the morning comes
(Bridge)
You know I think of her sometimes
Lying in a silver bed
Candles in her eyes
Smoke clouds are overhead
Then I look outside my window
And I see you walk away
No matter how long it’s been
The music still gonna play
(Chorus)
She was married to the summer
She was always on the run
She”ll be a hundred miles away
She”ll be a hundred miles away
When the morning comes
She was never meant to be the wife of some old man
