I Can't Change

(Album: The Messenger - 2018)

I loved you but I left you back in Knoxville
I was easy, I just walked on out the door
Sleeping was the one time it was peaceful
And I could not take the talking anymore

Cigarettes and secrets in the morning
Coffee's awful strong in this part of the South
Sometimes it was easier to kiss you
Than to hear the truth that came out of your mouth

I thought you was gonna stay the same
And love me even thought I'm strange
I told you when you took my name
I ain't never gonna change
I ain't never gonna change

Loved you when I met you back in high school
Laughed at every stupid joke I made
Lately I've been living in a bar room
I thought I might've died if I'd've stayed

I thought you was gonna be my girl
And we would never be estranged
But we are all alone in this world
I ain't never gonna change
I ain't never gonna change

I thought you was gonna stay the same
And love me even thought I'm strange
I told you when you took my name
I ain't never gonna change
No I ain't never gonna change
No I ain't never gonna change
