[Intro]
Swear it happens every time
I swear it happens every time
Swear it happens every time
[Verse 1]
Been runnin' down bright lights
Burnin' down a borrowed guitar
Singin' broken-hearted country songs
It's the same old story
Lettin' that drag talk for me
I regret it in the mornin'
But right now, I don't
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, check the phone one more time
Just a-hopin' that you'll ring it, baby
But you don't
Yeah, so I end up crossin' lines
Tryin' to find someone to love me 'cause you won't
[Chorus]
It happens every time
I go try bein' me and you with someone new
Yeah, girl, it oughta be a crime
To keep on lyin' all the time like I ain't stuck on you
No, 'cause it just ain't true
You know that's somethin' I say
You know that's somethin' I do
To get me through it when I'm missin' you
It happens every time
Swear it happens every time
Yeah
[Verse 2]
We had a two-lane town
In the palm of our hands
Couple Lynchburg lovers, but we let it go
Should be rockin' on a porch swing
But I run from a sure thing
Faster than a Mississippi River flows
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, yeah, you think I learned my lesson
Then quit messin' with fire
But I just light another smoke
I'll say it, "Done after this"
Till I get drinkin' again
[Chorus]
I swear it happens every time
I go try bein' me and you with someone new
Yeah, girl, it oughta be a crime
To keep on lyin' all the time like I ain't stuck on you
No, 'cause it just ain't true
You know that's somethin' I say
You know that's somethin' I do
To get me through it when I'm missin' you
It happens every time
Swear it happens every time
Swear it happens every time
[Bridge]
I love you, then I leave you
Act like I don't need you, baby
I know that I can't keep you
Ain't no way to treat you, baby
I keep stringin' you along
Just hopin' maybe I could change somehow
But it never works, oh
[Chorus]
I swear it happens every time
I go try bein' me and you with someone new
Yeah, girl, it oughta be a crime
To keep on lyin' all the time like I ain't stuck on you
No, 'cause it just ain't true
You know that's somethin' I say
You know that's somethin' I do
To get me through it when I'm missin' you
It happens every time
Swear it happens every time
[Outro]
Yeah
