I was drinkin' whiskey
You was drinkin' red
Drinkin' like that
You know how the night'll end
(Shit)
Screen door slams
Brown eyed stare
Boots hit the porch
Middle finger in the air
Go and ring the bell
Aw, it's on again
Here we go
Why ya gotta go out like that?
Breakin' bottles, callin' cabs
Them four letter words
On the tip of your tongue
Flying like bullets
From a lipstick gun
Well, we should have just kicked back
And rolled the buzz
Drank it all away
Until the Sun came up
Made a little love when we hit the sack
Baby, why ya gotta go out like that?
Now I'm sittin' out here
Just smokin' on a cigarette
Thinkin' there's maybe, baby
Somethin' that I coulda, woulda, shoulda said
(I love you, that's right)
To stop that screen door slam
Brown eyed stare
Boots hit the porch
Middle finger in the air
Why ya gotta go out like that?
Breakin' bottles, callin' cabs
Them four letter words
On the tip of your tongue
Flying like bullets
From a lipstick gun
Well, we should have just kicked back
And rolled the buzz
Drank it all away
Until the Sun came up
Made a little love when we hit the sack
Baby, why ya gotta go out like that?
I said some things, yeah
Ah, baby
Why ya gotta go out like that?
Breakin' bottles, callin' cabs
Them four letter words
On the tip of your tongue
Flying like bullets
From a lipstick gun
Well, we should have just kicked back
And rolled the buzz
Drank it all away
Until the Sun came up
Made a little love when we hit the sack
Baby, why ya gotta go out like that?
(Bye-bye, yeah)
Damn
(See you in the morning)
That's a barn burner, ouch
I'll be on the couch
Burning cigarettes
Whiskey bottles, oops
Tom petty cassette tapes, my bad
Tom petty cassette tapes
Hungover, hungover
I'm sorry, I'm sorry
