You Never See It Coming

He was an Illinois boy never been over the state line

He was looking for an Indiana girl on an Indiana night

There was a barn dance up off Route 10

In a hayloft above a boxing gym

He never saw it coming til it hit him right between the eyes

 

He quit the police force after his divorce

She took the twins and left him standing on the porch

Then he turned in his badge and he hung up his gun

He didn’t wanna do like his daddy done

He never saw it coming til it hit him right between the eyes

 

She was an FFA Sweetheart runner-up two times

She was headed to private school on her daddy’s dime

Then the rains never came and the drought kicked in and

A trade war was started by the president

She never saw it coming til it hit her right between the eyes

 

So she worked her way through night school and did her time

Her sister dragged her out some on Friday nights

There was a barn dance up off Route 10

They had a pack of Camel Crushes and a bottle of gin

She never saw it coming til it hit her right between the eyes

 

Now it’s 2:24 and she’s all alone on the dancefloor

The bottle is empty and the band’s rollin up their cords

Then she stumbles down to the boxing gym

He’s swinging at shadows when she walks in

They never saw it coming til it hits em right between the eyes

 

You never see it coming til it hits you right between the eyes
