Working three jobs, just the two of us. Still the bills kept piling up. Had a Chevrolet that was mostly rusting rubber. . We didnt know we had it made.
They could look all their lives. And not find what we've got. Up and down, all around beneath every rock. Our love is one of a kind. . Where you took my heart.
Well, I made my plans. To leave you far behind. To put you in my past. And get you off my mind. . So, I took your memory. On a midnight ride. Down a dark and lonely back road.
I did some honky tonk healin' to get me over you. It took some neon nurses around the clock to pull me through. I was in critical condition my heart was broken in two.
Beneath this neon haze here in this honky tonk. I tell everyone who'll listen I don't miss her being gone. I've got a big smile painted on my face that's all I see.
I'm through playin' it safe. It's time I laid it on the line. I wanna dance out on the edges. And get a little reckless in my mind. . 'Cause even a heart that's locked away.
Monday mornin' is such a rush. Here it is again sneakin' up on us. Uh-huh-huh, yeah. . This is the part you know I don't like. We say goodbye and then we kiss goodnight.
