Down by the water is where she told me
This is where I go when I get lonely
The crickets and the lightening bugs
Are my only friends
That's right
Came home early
Saw his taillights leavin' in a hurry
The house was a wreck
And on my nightstand a pack of Marlboro lights
Now I don't smoke and neither do you
And you usually clean up around one or two
And it was 4:30 so I knew something wasn't right
Down by the water she told me
It was gonna happen because you ignore me
Woman like me gotta keep ourselves satisfied
Down by the water she broke me
Took everything I had and ended our story
And I don't think I'm ever gonna forget that night
Down by the water she told me
This is where I go when I get lonely
The crickets and the lightning bugs are my only friends
When I think of you and me
I think of looking up at that movie screen
On our very first date
Got my cold beer ad you got your white wine
I guess it wasn't meant to be
Now I gotta move on and try to believe
That there's someone else out there
That make me feel what I feel when I look in your eyes
Down by the water she told me
It was bound to happen because you ignore me
Woman like me gotta keep outselves satisfied
Down by the water she broke me
Took everything I had and ended our story
And I don't think I'm ever gonna forget that night
