Lady Antebellum - Careful What You Wish For lyrics

rate me

Jenny left the gun on the floor near the body

Waited till the blue lights flashed in the drive way

Put a little lipstick on 'fore the cops came in

Alabama girl with a grudge was the headline

Judge said "I'm puttin' her away for a long time"

She's a household name when the child begins

No one even noticed her sister leavin' town

She was west of Texas

By the time that the gavel came down

Be careful what you wish for

You might get more than you ever wanted

Jenny wanted fame but she took the blame instead

The last thing she said before they slammed that big steel door

"Be careful what you wish for"

Jenny used to write every night in her diary

"Some day I'm gonna sing on the Opery

Or be a movie star up on the silver screen"

Her sister fell in love like a fool with the wrong guy

Show up at her door with a bruise or a black eye

Too weak to fight, too scared to leave

Jenny got a phone call the night that hell broke lose

She stepped inside the front door

"little sister what did you do?"

Be careful what you wish for

You might get more than you ever wanted

Jenny wanted fame but she took the blame instead

The last thing she said before they slammed that big steel door

"Be careful what you wish for"

"Nobody saw you, I'll take the fall for you

You'll get your freedom

And I guess

Finally everybody's gonna know my name"

Be careful what you wish for

Cuz you might get more than you ever wanted

Jenny wanted fame but she took the blame instead

The last thing she said before they slammed that big steel door

"Be careful what you wish for"

Be careful what you wish for

Jenny left the gun on the floor near the body

Waited till the blue lights flashed in the drive way

Put a little lipstick on 'fore the cops came in
