about

A dark country-rnb song and the first single from the Rude Crew's 'Dirty Windscreens,Heartache and Beer' .

lyrics

Stella was a good girl she made a few mistakes
the biggest one of these was Joe
Joe he was a boozer a brawler and a loser
But he was Stella's Romeo
Stella worked the diner to save a home deposit
while Joe was in the barroom playing pool
Stella stashed her savings back of the closet
she was planning even then for kids and school

Love isn't always a good thing
Love can lead you astray
There'll be times when you wish to God
Love never came your way

Joe found Stella's money blew it down the track
Stella couldn't see through all her tears
But she believed Joe when he promised he'd make the money back
And she kept believing every single year

Love isn't always a good thing
Love can lead you astray
There'll be times when you wish to God
Love never came your way

One day a policeman came to Stella’s trailer
Joe was wanted for burglary
But Stella knew her Joseph he wasn't like that
She wouldn't them take her love away

And so she picked up Joey's hunting gun
And shot the policeman dead before she realised what she done

Stella went to prison washin' dishes
With vicious girls on either side
But she never blamed her Joseph she never had a cruel word
Until last week she never ever cried

They found her hanging above a story of how a million dollars had been won
By Stella's fella Joe and there he was with his good looking new girl on page one

Love isn't always a good thing
Love can lead you astray
There'll be times when you wish to God
Love never came your way
