[Verse 1]

The proof is in the whiskey and the champagne in your hand

You smilin' in that picture's got me thinkin' about the damn I didn't give

And how I let a good thing slip right through my hands

If I could do it all again


[Chorus]

I wouldn't stand there on the porch

With you and your 4Runner runnin'

I wouldn't call your bluff when you packed it up

Said, I shoulda seen it comin'

I wouldn't watch that cloud of dust

And just keep on actin' tough

I wouldn't tell my friends, "It's all good now I got more time for fishing."

I wouldn't need an empty bed

To know how bad I miss you in it

No, I don't know how to make it up to you

But I damn sure know just what I wouldn't do


[Verse 2]

The list of reasons why she's gone is longer than this tab

My mama's still mad at me, I'm still kickin' myself for that

'Cause I know she's always right, I messed it up good, didn't I?

I shoulda bought the ring

And did the thing damn thing

Yeah, if I could hit rewind


[Chorus]

I wouldn't stand there on the porch

With you and your 4Runnеr runnin'

I wouldn't call your bluff when you packed it up

Said, I shoulda seen it comin'

I wouldn't watch that cloud of dust

And just keep on actin' tough

I wouldn't tell my friеnds, "It's all good now I got more time for fishing."

I wouldn't need an empty bed

To know how bad, I miss you in it

No, I don't know how to make it up to you

But I damn sure know just what I wouldn't do


[Bridge]

To stop those goodbye tears from fallin'

Get those bags out of the car and your clothes back in the closet


[Chorus]

I wouldn't stand there on the porch

With you and your 4Runner runnin'

I wouldn't call your bluff when you packed it up

Said, I shoulda seen it comin'

I wouldn't watch that cloud of dust

And just keep on actin' tough

I wouldn't tell my friends, "It's all good now I got more time for fishing."

I wouldn't need an empty bed

To know how bad, I miss you in it

No, I don't know how to make it up to you

But I damn sure know just what I wouldn't do

Yeah, I know what I wouldn't do
