I was ridin’ on a one way ticket to an early grave 

My path of destruction has long been paved 

If not for you, I might have never been saved 

But you caught me at a bad time 



Chorus: 



Why you gotta be so pretty? 

Why you gotta be so cool? 

You’re all that I want and the last thing I need 

Is to fall in love with you 



I was planning on a couple more years 

Of painting this town 

I’ve never met a woman who could hold me down 

But you’re the one girl that could turn it all around 



But you could have picked a better time 



Chorus 



Bridge: 



Adios to all those late nights 

And the end of care-free days 

I don’t think I’ll put up a fight 

If you’ll just stand in my way 



Chorus
