i never wanted you to be a sailors girl,
to be a truckers wife, to be left behind
you should know, you should know that im thinking of you
up and down that pikeway up and down like a serial killer
like a smuggler, like a trucker
drinking while you should be sleeping,
sleeping while you should be waking up
never hung over, either wide awake or way too drunk
the only thing, only thing i ever wanted is gonna fuck you over
its gonna fuck us up, the only thing that i ever wanted
i never wanted you [i never wanted you]
to be a sailors girl [to be a sailors girl]
to be a truckers wife [to be a truckers wife]
to be left behind [to be left behind]
you should know, you should know that im thinking of you
up and down that drive like a serial killer
like a smuggler, like a trucker
drinking while you should be sleeping
sleeping while you should be waking up [should be waking up]
the only thing, only thing i ever wanted is gonna fuck you over
its gonna fuck us up
i never wanted you [i never wanted you]
to be a sailors girl [to be a sailors girl]
to be a truckers wife [to be a truckers wife]
to be left, to be left behind
and i wonder if youll be there when i get back
or will you leave me like i left you over and over and over
i never wanted you to be left behind, to be left behind
i never wanted you to be a sailors girl, to be a truckers wife
to be left behind
and i wonder, i wonder if youll be there when i get back
or will you leave me like i left you, like i left you over and over
like i left you over and over, over and over, over and over, over and over
