Turnpike Troubadours - Wrecked lyrics

rate me

Well lookin back when I met you, we were shiny, we were brand new

A couple kids who'd never been to town

It was a quart of beer, a paper sack, leave a penny on the railroad track

You let me steal a kiss from you when no one was around

Hangin out, hangin on to the night fore it was gone

Like we'd never see that parking lot again

We were sneakin in the picture show and pourin' bourbon in our coke

Aw and never seein' how the movie ends

And I thought that they might ride off in the sun

Chorus:

But you wrecked it all, you wrecked my heart

You wrecked our house and you wrecked my car

Left all the pieces scattered on the lawn

Caught up in your headlights

Well I was blindsided in plain sight

I'll salvage what I may when you're gone but you wrecked it all

Well on down the road we built our home out of bedsheets and Styrofoam

Hopin that the wind might never blow

And it's love or fight, everyday like a Tennessee Williams play

Not knowin how it ended when we signed on for the show

And I hoped that we might ride off in the sun

Chorus

Life ain't what it was back then, someone smashed the windshield in

Well you never see it comin till it's knockin out your teeth

And it's the same Saturday, brand new Fords and Chevrolet's

Lined up like they never saw the likes of you and me

And I watched them as they drove off in the sun
