Down To Her Socks - Kris Kristofferson
Written by:Kris Kristofferson
Here's a song about a good 'ole girl with a big 'ole heart that got
Broke 'cause she was in love with
Some son of a bitch who didn't love her back enough
Slowly she sank to her knees on the floor
Cursing the freedom she'd won
From the torture she'd vowed not to take anymore
And the victim she'd almost become
For a lady who'd learned all there is about leaving
She sure took a long time to go
But he loved her right down to her socks
And no further
And her feet were the last ones to know
You see the problem is
Sometimes when you take a good
Stiff shot to the heart
It kinda stuns you
Takes a while for the message to get on down to your feet
To get you out of trouble
So you stand there like some old fighter taking punishment
You don't even know you're takin'
The one day you wake up look down at your feet
Find they're just walking you away from me
For a lady who'd learned all there is about leaving
She sure take a hard way to go
But he loved her right down to her socks and no further
And her feet were the last ones to know
And they're still work
Yes he loved her right down to her socks and no further
And her feet were the last ones to know
