I thought the wreck was over

I thought the fire was out

I thought the storm had passed

and I was safe at last

I thought thw wreck was over

but here she comes again

Livin' with her liked t'killed me

Living without her might as well

At first I thought I'd died and gone to heaven

In fact I had lived and gone to hell

I thought the wreck was over

I thought the fire was out

I thought the storm had passed

and I was safe at last

I thought thw wreck was over

but here she comes again

They'll tell you to expect the unexpected

But nobody ever tells you where it's hid

I can't tell you how many times she left me

I lost count the very first time that she did

I thought I was movin' fast and gettin' stronger

I thought the coast was clearer

'Till I looked into the mirror

And saw a set of skid marks gettin' longer

I thought the wreck was over

I thought the fire was out

I thought the storm had passed

and I was safe at last

I thought thw wreck was over

but here she comes again
