Way To Go

(album: Boy From Anderson County To The Moon - 2022)

Even got your momma texting saying what the hell were you thinking
Funny how an empty dresser drawer can really make it sink in
Laying in bed head spinning with the ceiling fan in a daze
Starring at the hole wall where there used to be you and her picture frame

Way to go, you messed it up again
You done the same old shit
Just acting like a kid man, that didn't know
How good you had it then, as good as it could get
You went and let her slip right outta your hands
Whiskey ain't the only thing at the bottom of the rocks
You're the only one to blame, pour another big shot
You wanna right the wrong and get her back from gone
Boy you got a long, long way to go

Even through bloodshot eyes couldn't get any clearer
Somethin's gotta change with the man in the mirror
Your shoulda saids coulda dones don't mean nothing now
She's halfway to Athens and she ain't gonna slow it down
Or turn around

Way to go, you messed it up again
You done the same old shit
Just acting like a kid man, that didn't know
How good you had it then, as good as it could get
You went and let her slip right outta your hands
Whiskey ain't the only thing at the bottom of the rocks
You're the only one to blame, pour another big shot
You wanna right the wrong and get her back from gone
Boy you got a long, long way to go

It's gonna take more than talk
Gonna have to walk the walk
Drop the act, leave the hat at the door
Be a real man
But for real man

Way to go, you messed it up again
You done the same old shit
Just acting like a kid man, that didn't know
How good you had it then, as good as it could get
You went and let her slip right outta your hands
Whiskey ain't the only thing at the bottom of the rocks
You're the only one to blame, pour another big shot
You wanna right the wrong and get her back from gone
Boy you got a long way, long, long way to go
Yeah, you got a long, long way to go
