lyrics

Like good girls ought to do, I made sure to put my nice dress on
but the heat from those summer days made too great a temptation
after that I bit my tongue but didn’t bite down hard enough
all we did was fight all day cause I guess we both liked it rough
Riding in your truck, you’d reach out to hold my hand
and at the red light, you’d try to kiss me if you can
but I started to worry about who might see in the window
I noticed you pulling away until you finally let go

I never thought you were perfect and you never thought that of me
I knew from the moment we met that you and I were not to be
but you’re from below the Mason-Dixon line and not from Mississippi
we had fun in our time together but it’s time for you to leave

The more I learned the less I wanted you around
I wasn’t gonna be the second girl to the other that you found
all the choices I made were actually yours
which explains why all of the outcomes were so poor
if I had the chance to do it over again
I would’ve left the bar I met you at and skipped that last gin
