I'm down in Florida, tryna forget your name
Getting drunk at the bars help me erase the pain
If I get high enough, gamble the money I saved
I have a story to tell when they ask how you got away

I can't let the fiction end
'Cause I'm too scared of the consequence
We'll all find out when reality hits, but until then

The story goes on and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on
The story goes on and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on
The story goes

I'm back in Nashville, but nothing's the same
So, I blacked out on Broadway, startеd screaming your name
If I start another fight, find a girl and gеt laid
I'll have a story to tell when they ask how you got away

I can't let the fiction end
'Cause I'm too scared of the consequence
We'll all find out when reality hits, but until then

The story goes on and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on
The story goes on and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on

The story goes
The story goes on and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on
The story goes on and on, and on
And on, and on, and on, and on
The story goes

I'm in my room with a bottle of gin
Thinking maybe it's better if this story ends
If I could just tell the truth and the truth's all I say
I'd never have to tell another lie of how you got away
