girl you're taking home

I got the whiskey

She gets the good year bottle of wine

I got the neon

She gets the back porch strung up lights

I got the white lies, she gets the truth

She gets the version I wanted of you

If I was good enough to be your last call

Why is she the one you call your mama about?

After seein' all the b.s. I saw

Why is she the one who sees your best side now?

If I'm the first thing on your mind

The second she lets go

Then why ain't I the girl you're taking home?

I saw the pictures

And she gets to cross that county line

I bet she's riding shotgun

In your dad's old '85

I bet she met your grandma, you took her to church

She gets the cleaned up, and I got the dirt

And it hurts 'cause

If I was good enough to be your last call

Why is she the one you call your mama about?

After seein' all the b.s. I saw

Why is she the one who sees your best side now?

If I'm the first thing on your mind

The second she lets go

Then why ain't I the girl you're taking home?

Yeah, take her home

Where you grew up

Baby, why ain't I the one you love?

If I was good enough to be your last call

Why is she the one you call your mama about?

After seein' all the b.s. I saw

Why is she the one who sees your best side now?

If I'm the first thing on your mind

The second she lets go

Then why ain't I the girl you're taking home?

Then why ain't I the girl you're taking home?

Then why ain't I the girl you're taking home?
