[Verse 1]
Trouble blew in on a cold dark wind
It came without no warning
And that big old house went up for sale
They were on the road by morning

[Chorus]
Oh, the days went slow, into the changing season
Oh, out in the cold for all the wrong reasons

[Verse 2]
Well she grew up hard and she grew up fast
In the age of television
And she made a vow to have it all
It became her new religion

[Chorus]
Oh, down in her soul it was an act of treason
Oh, down they go for all the wrong reasons

[Verse 3]
Where the sky begins the horizon ends
Despite the best intentions
And a big old man goes up for sale
He becomes his own invention
[Outro]
Oh, the days go slow into the changing season
Oh, bought and sold for all the wrong reasons
Oh, down they go for all the wrong reasons
