(Have you ever really truly been in love? I mean, really in love? I've only ever loved one boy and he was the bravest guy I ever knew. His name was Tommy. Tommy Knuckles.)

When I was young, my mama always said
You need a steady man who won't lose his head
But when I grew up I fell so hard
For the wildest boy with the wildest heart
He wore leather pants
He took me to the dance
He held me oh so tight
And then we kissed on his motorbike, 
While he was driving with no hands, 
blindfolded

My daredevil, 
My daredevil

I'll always remember the day we met
He was down at the gas station, smoking cigarettes
Picking his teeth with a Bowie knife
And then Jimmy put him down and they got into a chain fight
He knocked out all of Jimmy's teeth
That's when I knew he was the one for me
So we'd go out and play chicken with the trains
And switchblade knifey-spoony and all those other games

My daredevil,
My daredevil

(It all ended the day we went to the zoo. I told him to be careful, but I think he was upset and he was just acting out! When he climbed up on the railing on the side of the bear cage and was swinging back and forth from that tree, I think he definitely could have made it if his foot hadn't slipped. But when the bear came over to see what was happening, he was so brave and took a swing, and then it ripped his head clean off. I always told him, "you should think before you act sometimes," but he never did, and that's why I loved him and I'll always love him... my daredevil).
