The Ending

Took a wrong curve on some worn out tires

Broke a cedar post and a little barbed wire

Left the prom early, got you home past one

And your mama had a Bible, daddy had a gun

Was clear as water and sweet as a peach

So we drank the whole bottle on Panama Beach

Got kicked out of clubs, kicked in the teeth

Kicked out the pool at the Embassy Suites, but

Damn, girl, we sure had something

Baby blue Chevy by the river running

Tennessee stars, whiskey brown eyes

Dancing in the dark singing "Learning to Fly"

They were memories that, like a song

Fade out a little, but they won't stay

Gonna keep hanging on like the world keeps spinning

And there ain't no doubt

We had it all figured out

But the ending

Why'd it have to go that way?

It was pretty damn hard to deny

I'd give anything to see that smile

Hey baby, whatcha doing tonight?

Went from backseat fogging up, smoke in the air

To two weeks late, I make you pretty damn scared

Then you call me up saying, "Baby, we're in the clear"

Before a fifty-yard line, blanket, six-pack of beer

Woah, just for the hell of it

Oh, sometimes I wonder if

Oh, you think it's crazy that

I'd love to run it back, I'd love to run it back

Damn, girl, we sure had something

Baby blue Chevy by the river running

Tennessee stars, whiskey brown eyes

Dancing in the dark singing "Learning to Fly"

They were memories that, like a song

Fade out a little, but they won't stay

Gonna keep hanging on like the world keeps spinning

And there ain't no doubt

We had it all figured out

But the ending

Why'd it have to go that way?

It was pretty damn hard to deny

I'd give anything to see that smile

Hey baby, whatcha doing tonight?

Woah, just for the hell of it

Oh, sometimes I wonder if

Oh, you think it's crazy that

I'd love to run it back, I'd love to run it back

Damn, girl, we sure had something

Baby blue Chevy by the river running

Tennessee stars, whiskey brown eyes

Dancing in the dark singing "Learning to Fly"

They were memories that, like a song

Fade out a little, but they won't stay

Gonna keep hanging on like the world keeps spinning

And there ain't no doubt

We had it all figured out

But the ending

Why'd it have to go that way?

It was pretty damn hard to deny

I'd give anything to see that smile

Hey baby, whatcha doing tonight?
