I bet the rain in September

Dancin' on the tin roof don't mean nothin' to you

I bet when you taste Kentucky

That needle don't move, it's just whiskey to you

It's like this town won't give me a break

I still go out but all that it takes is

One streetlight

And I'm right back in the backseat

Kissin' in a New York taxi

Every time someone asks me

Why I hate that love song

It's a time machine when it comes on

Hands on your hips in the neon light

It's almost like

Everything takes me back but you

Livin' on memory avenue

The nights are long and the days are too

When everything takes me back but you

I bet the sound of the highway

Or a roadside motel don't put you through hell

Yeah and I bet that your mama don't mention my name

When you call, she probably hates me like I hate that just

One streetlight

And I'm right back in the backseat

Kissin' in a New York taxi

Every time someone asks me

Why I hate that love song

It's a time machine when it comes on

Hands on your hips in the neon light

It's almost like

Everything takes me back but you

Livin' on memory avenue

The nights are long and the days are too

When everything takes me back but you

When everything takes me back but you

Yeah, all that it takes is one streetlight

And I'm right back in the backseat

Kissin' in a New York taxi

Every time someone asks me

Why I hate that love song

It's a time machine when it comes on

Hands on your hips in the neon light

It's almost like

Everything takes me back but you

Livin' on memory avenue

The nights are long and the days are too

When everything takes me back but you

Every state I'm in, every state of mind

Just rewinds me to goodbye

Even when I don't want it to

Everything takes me back but you

Everything takes me back but you
