I'm burning up it's 40 plus in the shade

Hand me a shovel cos I'm digging a grave

I'm going to bury that shell on the door

The door flew the coop and went to heaven above

And when I'm gone I'm gonna write you a letter

Of anything but love

I heard you scratching at the flyscreen door

Those wounds ain't gonna heal if you keep on picking them sores

You blame the symptoms but you know what's the cause

It's anything but love

I walked so far I wore a hole in my boots

I wear this here old vest as though it was bullet proof

You keep [bad word] trying to hide from the [bad word] 
It's anything but love

(Whistling)

Dear, dear dear dear dear

Dear dear dear dear, dear dear dear dear

Dear darlin'

It's been so long, it's been so long since you wrote

Dear, dear dear dear dear dear dear, dear

Dear darlin'

I mighta left ya, but I left ya a note

It's been so long since you called

I tried to visit but my car don't start

Dear darlin'

You give your heart and then you get the reward

Of anything but, of anything but, of anything but

Love, love, love, love
