about

16. Tied Up In Knots:
It’s plausible that the story in this song could have taken place at one of our regular gigs at Conor Byrne’s Pub in Seattle with our honky tonk band, The Lucky Shots. This is one of the songs we’d play there. Here it is in a
pared-down acoustic setting.

lyrics

I’m tied up in knots thinking about you
Twisted and tangled, don’t know what to do
I’ve pulled out my heartstrings to undo this mess
But I’m still tied up in knots over you

I’m sitting at the bar stool
I’m trying to catch your eye
You’re with someone else
Don’t know I’m alive
How quickly you’ve forgotten
The love that we once had
You’ve tied me and left me here
Alone, drunk and sad

I’m tied up in knots thinking about you
Twisted and tangled, don't know what to do
I’ve pulled out my heartstrings to undo this mess
But I’m still tied up in knots over you

I wonder how this came to be
It wasn’t long ago
We danced in each other’s arms
Swaying to and fro
But now you’ve found a new love
And I’m left behind
Dragging my heart around the town
Still hooked on your line

I’m tied up in knots thinking about you
Twisted and tangled, don’t know what to do
I’ve pulled out my heartstrings to undo this mess
But I’m still tied up in knots over you
