Whiskey walking on the road by the moonlight Can't imagine this is our first lifetime Told her I was livin' slow, she said, take your time That's just fine Seems like you always lose the thing that you're scared to lose I'm afraid I was afraid I would have married you Feels like I'm running out of years in this life To take possession of a heart like you had mine Well, I broke every big bone I could break inside my head I fell like an anvil, baby, this one's gonna last This lesson can't be worth all of this goddamn mess But I'll lay my head down and I'll cry and try again Used to watch you wonder why you never learned to dance And yet I just took your word on what makes a man You never liked a risk, but with me you took every chance To take the boy I was and rip him from my cold hands Darling, don't you worry, there ain't any bad blood There ain't a thing that you could say I haven't thought of It's not a problem, you just changed the way I'm growing up Kind of a long way to find out I've never known love I broke every big bone I could break inside my head I fell like an anvil, baby, this one's gonna last This lesson can't be worth all of this goddamn mess But I'll lay my head down and I'll cry and try again
