I Thought The Wreck Was Over Lyrics - Flatlanders

I thought the wreck was over, I thought the fire was out 

I thought the storm had passed and I was safe at last 

I thought the wreck was over 

But here she comes again 

Livin' with her liked to kill me 

Livin' without her might as well 

At first I thought I'd died and gone to heaven 

In fact I had lived and gone to hell 

I thought the wreck was over, I thought the fire was out 

I thought the storm had passed and I was safe at last 

I thought the wreck was over 

But here she comes again 

They'll tell you to expect the unexpected 

Nobody ever tells you where it's hid 

I can't tell you how many times she left me 

I lost count the very first time that she did 

I thought I was movin' fast and gettin' stronger 

I thought the coast was clearer 

'Til I looked in the mirror 

And saw a set of skid marks gettin' longer 

I thought the wreck was over, I thought the fire was out 

I thought the storm had passed and I was safe at last 

I thought the wreck was over 

But here she comes again 

I thought the storm had passed, I was safe at last 

I thought the wreck was over 

But here she comes again 

I thought the wreck was over
