Loose Strings

You left your jacket in the back seat

That's why I'm callin' you now

I found it curled up in a ball

I was cleanin' the 'yota out

Swing by the house anytime you want

Or I can drop it off

You know whiskey makes me honest

Tequila makes you mean

Last thing I remember you were cussin'

My keys were in the weeds

You threw 'em out

Said I'd love to see you leave

But I won't let you go kill yourself

Or get busted by the po-po

So I staggered home alone

Still thinkin' about you

I'm through talkin' about all the things we can't change

It's hard movin' on

I don't want you gone

Ain't it strange the way we keep tryin' to tie down this thing

With these loose strings

Baby, if we weren't so hard-headed

Maybe we wouldn't fight

And if you weren't so damn pretty

I might have slept last night

You say you can't live with me

Ah, but you can't live without

It's the little things I think about

When I stagger home alone

Still thinkin' about you

I'm through talkin' about all the things we can't change

It's hard movin' on

I don't want you gone

But ain't it strange the way we keep tryin' to tie down this thing

With these loose strings

Ain't no what it's gonna be, babe

What you get is what you see, babe

We can try and lock it down

It might hold for now

But that ain't you and me

We keep tyin' ourselves down

With these loose strings

Every time I turn around

Loose strings

The two of us just tangled up in

Loose strings

Every time I think I love you

Loose strings

Loose strings

Loose strings

Loose strings
