Jem's a handsome devil alright
Bid adieu by way of heading out
Wiped the road from his F-150
Before blowing the same dust
Back down Cherokee Lane
Leah thought back to her hero's return
Fireman's carry over his shoulder
He lets her ankles dangle
She kicks but doesn't wrestle
After all the girl needed
Swept off her feet
Yeah yeah
It has you then it's gone
Love can rob you blind
Oh it's always been an inside job
The truest love is blind
Jem went fly fishing for recreation
While Leah caught up on her sleep
He was out of that house early
Nearly every Sunday morning
Before the church bells made him
Reel it in for the week
Leah used to bounce a quarter off his sheets
Flat as a dime
Never so much as a crease
Jem kissed her without warning
He never needed orders
Now he lacks the sort of discipline
That the military breeds
Yeah yeah
It has you then it's gone
Love can rob you blind
Oh it's always been an inside job
The truest love is blind
Jem's a man of his own alright
Leah's sleeping in his tees
Slid his coat from off the hanger
He's careful not to wake her
Only such a selfish man
Would interrupt her dreams
He knows she wants the best for him
So she lets him go on free
Little does he know
She's got the car packed up to leave
Yeah yeah
It has you then it's gone
Love can rob you blind
Oh it's always been an inside job
The truest love is blind
Yeah
It has you then it's gone
Love can rob you blind
Oh it's always been an inside job
The truest love is blind
