lyrics

i should just start drinking instead of thinking ‘bout you when you go
i should start ramblin’ instead of gamblin’ on if you’ll be home
i should start runnin’ just as fast as these wheels can spin
‘stead of wasting all my lovin’ on the same old thing again

you told me i was nothin’ like i ain’t heard that before
i ran into your cousin she was working at the dollar store
she said you been layin’ with some girl in Bridgewater
and that you been stayin’ in a sweet singlewide the county bought her

i wasn’t bankin’ on forever even after all the sweet little things you said
seems like the only time we manage to get together
is when we get hell bent on tryin’ to set fire to this bed

and i hate you for wantin’ me when i’m already low
i hate you for lovin’ me when i’m already broke
all this sleepin’ ‘round it wears me out and i don’t think that it’s enough
to keep me from leaving this town before i get knocked up

oh damn me for wantin’ something better damn me for leaving you behind
the one memory that i won’t ever be able to shake’s the taste
of your mouth on mine yeah it’s old milwaukee and marlboro reds

and this town ain’t so bad if you take away the wind and the snow
and if you see my stepdad well tell him where he can go
if you see my mother don’t touch her just help her home from the bar
cause if it’s noon on tuesday my brother needs the car

oh still there's something about this place i feel it around my neck i feel it across my face
yeah there's something about this town
just like there’s something about the first man who tried to tear me down

She fronts a 4-piece band whose sound is reminiscent of seventies and eighties country radio. ... more
