Bartering Lines Lyrics by Ryan Adams

Heartbreaker

2000

[Verse 1]
Hold me up, hold me down
Leave me in the withering pines
Steal my love, steal my kisses
Take 'em to the bartering lines

[Chorus]
Ten cents up, two bucks down
Ship it out and turn it into fuel
Three bucks shy, leave it on the table
'Til somebody else with money's got a use

[Verse 2]
Spinnin' so hard, I can't stand
Shadow of a shadowy man
Hold me up, hold my hand
The treasures that she misses makes the man

[Chorus]
Ten cents up, two bucks down
Ship it out and turn it into fuel
Three bucks shy, leave it on the table
'Til somebody else with money's got a use

[Verse 3]
So hold me up, tie me down
Leave me in the withering pines
Steal my love steal my kisses
Evaluate the differences in life

[Chorus]
Ten cents up, two bucks down
Ship it out and turn it into fuel
Three bucks shy, leave it on the table
'Til somebody else with money's got a use

[Chorus]
Ten cents up, two bucks down
Ship it out and turn it into fuel
Three bucks shy, leave it on the table
'Til somebody else with money's got a use

[Chorus]
Ten cents up, two bucks down
Ship it out and turn it into fuel
Three bucks shy, leave it on the table
'Til somebody else with money's got a use
