She Ain't Me

I hear your baritone voice order a whiskey and a wine And from the stage I see her hanging off your arm So I tell the steel to make it cry this time Then I look at you and you look at me Oh, forbidden words that we never speak It's a sad song to sing, how it's killing me That she ain't me That time in Tennessee you let me know it wasn't only in my mind When we finally got alone that night in Denver I remember that long goodbye And still, we pretend that I'm just a friend And there ain't nothing more that we're riding for In this hackamore holding back what we oughta be Because she ain't me She's not the one who's losing her mind She's not the one with the reason to hide She's who you're not leaving when you're leaving here tonight And it's killing me that she ain't me She's not the one who's losing her mind She's not the one with the reason to hide She's the one who's next to you while I'm just next in line And it's killing me that she ain't me She's the one who's wrong for you with the right to call you mine Let's not say anything Just stand here and sing That she ain't me
