The Ending

(album: Loose Cannon - 2019)

Took a wrong curve on some worn-out tires
Broke a cedar post and little barbed wire
Left the prom early, got you home past one
And your mama had a Bible, Daddy had a gun
Was clear as water and sweet as a peach
So we drank the whole bottle on Panama Beach
Got kicked outta clubs, kicked in the teeth
Kicked out the pool at the Embassy Suites, but

Damn, girl, we sure had something
Baby-blue Chevy by the river running
Tennessee stars, whiskey-brown eyes
Dancing in the dark, singing Learning To Fly
They were memories are like a song
Fade out a little but they won't stay gone
They keep hanging on like the world keeps spinning
Hey, there ain't no doubt
We had it all figured out
But the ending

Why'd it have to go that way?
Girl, it's pretty damn hard to deny
I'd give anything to see that smile
Hey baby, what you doing tonight?

Went from back seat fog it up, smoke in the air
To two weeks late'll make you pretty damn scared
Then you called me up saying, "Baby, we're in the clear"
Before a 50-yard-line blanket, six pack of beer

Oh, oh, oh, oh, just for the hell of it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, sometimes I wonder if
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you'd think it's crazy that
I'd love to run it back, I'd love to run it back

'Cause damn, girl, we sure had something
Baby-blue Chevy by the river running
Tennessee stars, whiskey brown eyes
Dancing in the dark, singing Learning To Fly
They were memories are like a song
Fade out a little but they won't stay gone
They keep hanging on like the world keeps spinning
Hey, there ain't no doubt
We had it all figured out
But the ending

Why'd it have to go that way?
It was pretty damn hard to deny
I'd give anything to see that smile
Hey baby, what you doing tonight?

Oh, oh, oh, oh, just for the hell of it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, sometimes I wonder if
Oh, oh, oh, oh, you'd think it's crazy that
I'd love to run it back, I'd love to run it back

'Cause damn, girl, we sure had something
Baby-blue Chevy by the river running
Tennessee stars, whiskey brown eyes
Dancing in the dark, singing Learning To Fly
They were memories are like a song
Fade out a little but they won't stay gone
They keep hanging on like the world keeps spinning
Hey, there ain't no doubt
We had it all figured out
But the ending

Why'd it have to go that way?
It was pretty damn hard to deny
I'd give anything to see that smile
Hey baby, what you doing tonight?
