girl you're taking home

I got the whiskey, she gets the good-year bottle of wine

I got the neon, she gets the back porch strung-up lights

I got the white lies, she gets the truth

She gets the version I wanted of you

If I was good enough to be your last call

Why is she the one you call your mama about?

After seein′ all the BS I saw

Why is she the one who sees your best side now?

If I'm the first thing on your mind the second she lets go

Then why ain′t I the girl you're takin' home?

I saw the pictures, and she gets to cross that county line

I bet she′s ridin′ shotgun in your dad's old ′85

Bet she met your grandma, you took her to church

She gets the cleaned-up, and I got the dirt, and it hurts 'cause

If I was good enough to be your last call

Why is she the one you call your mama about?

After seein′ all the BS I saw

Why is she the one who sees your best side now?

If I'm the first thing on your mind the second she lets go

Then why ain′t I the girl you're takin' home?

Yeah, take her home

Where you grew up

Baby, why ain′t I the one you love?

If I was good enough to be your last call

Why is she the one you call your mama about?

After seein′ all the BS I saw

Why is she the one who sees your best side now?

If I'm the first thing on your mind the second she lets go

Then why ain′t I the girl you're takin′ home?

Then why ain't I the girl you′re takin' home?

Then why ain't I the girl you′re takin′ home?
