Broken Bonds in Missouri

Down in Missouri, shadows cast long and deep

Secrets and whispers, secrets we keep

He was my best friend, we rode through the night

Shared all our dreams under the moonlight

But then I found out, he was hiding a lie

Cheater in the darkness, I can't believe my eyes

He played me for fools, he played me for a fool

Trust turned to dust, now I know the rule

Oh, Missouri, you saw it all

Heartbreaks and betrayals, answers in the tall

We thought we were solid, thought we were true

Now I see through the lies you spew

Running down the river, trying to forget

Friendship turned to fury, placing my bet

On honesty and truth, on love that's real

Betrayal's bitter, wounds that won't heal

Missouri, my witness and my friend

This lesson was hard, but it's not the end
