[Verse 1]
Lorrie lit a cigarette and smiled and waved the smoke out of her face
Her black hair brown from the summer sun, green eyes looked around the place
And she told me that she loved me, and I grinned, and I grabbed her hand, and I said, "I know"
Let's get from here, now darling, if we're going, let's go on and go, alright
[Verse 2]
Well, Lorrie said her family used to have a little money, and they still act like they do
Your daddy don't think I'm fit to sit in the same room with you
And if I ever set foot in Sevier county, well, your brother said he'd break my jaw
But here I stand with the dark-haired daughter of Southwest Arkansas
[PreChorus]
And I've been learning that believing
And that barely breaking even
It's just a part of life for you and me
And I've been living with the loneliness, it's got down in my bones, I guess
It's just another phase of being free
And I've been learning how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on
All along
[Chorus]
Well, good Lord, Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong?
Well, good Lord, Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong?
[Verse 3]
Well, De Queen's dry, so I bought us both a bottle in downtown Broken Bow
Lorrie's got a buddy with a double-wide trailer, they were shaking dominos
And I had good intentions till I had too many, I was stupid, I suppose
You better put a little money where your mouth is, boy, and try to keep it closed
[PreChorus]
And I've been learning that believing
And that barely breaking even
It's just a part of life for you and me
And I've been living with the loneliness, it's got down in my bones, I guess
It's just another phase of being free
And I've been learning how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on
All along
[Chorus]
Well, good Lord, Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong?
Well, good Lord, Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong?
[Verse 4]
Well, Lorrie said, "I wonder what we ever went through all this trouble for
You ain't half of who I thought you was, and this ain't fun no more"
And her words cut clean through drunk and dark and dimming doorway light
Well, I've had all I can handle, hope you're happy now, goodnight
[Bridge]
Guess her folks were right
Guess her folks were right
[Chorus]
Well, goodnight, Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong?
Well, goodnight, Lorrie, I love you, could it go more wrong?
