Getting Even

(album: Built Different - 2022)

Too much makeup, old blue jeans
The way she's drinking, man, she's bound to cause a scene
All those doubles, shots of trouble
Well, she staggered 'cross the dance floor
Doing that high-hell struggle, but

I think maybe she knows he's done her wrong
He ain't with her now and that ring is gone

She's drunk on lonely, hammered on a heartache
Between her heart and that bottle, something's bound to break
At this rate, man, you'd think
She'd turn and walk out that door
But she ain't leaving, you can't call it cheating
She's just getting even

I shoulda told her he was up to something
With small talk in a small town, you can't get away with nothing
He's denying, she knows he's lying
But she's all dolled up tonight, I guess she's over crying

And I don't think tonight's about moving on
No, he ain't with her now and that ring is gone

She's drunk on lonely, hammered on a heartache
Between her heart and that bottle, something's bound to break
At this rate, man, you'd think
She'd turn and walk out that door
But she ain't leaving, you can't call it cheating
She's just getting even

High heels in her hands, this ain't no walk of shame
No regrets when she slips back on that ring

She's drunk on lonely, hammered on a heartache
Between her heart and that bottle, something's bound to break
At this rate, man, you'd think
She'd turn and walk out that door
That door
She's drunk on lonely, hammered on a heartache
Between her heart and that bottle, something's bound to break
At this rate, man, you'd think
She'd turn and walk out that door
But she ain't leaving, you can't call it cheating
She's just getting even
No, she ain't leaving, you can't call it cheating
She's just getting even

Ah, she's just getting even
