lyrics

oh darlin
will you ring me up
will you take me to the drive-in
make a bed of yr truck

oh darlin
i would not die for you
but i might throw down in this dirt
till these skinny knees turn blue
just to beg a dance from you

if i believe in it
what wetness fills this cup
can i turn it into hope or is it still just some whiskey shot
cuz if its money on my mind then it goes down rough
but if its heartbreak that is drowning us
then it goes down
easy enough

if lyin up a storm hurts as bad as this
why then do you insist
lining yr pockets with this shit
you ought shovel out yr bed & lay for dead in it
but dont be calling me up
when yr sad
that i dont regret

well ships go down
& trains derail
tanks overturn
& pilots bail
but if theres one thing that ive learned in all of this
it's that sometimes we sink
sometimes we sink before we sail
