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
