lyrics

I would love to teach you that lesson, honey
but I ain’t got the time
I carried out my old heavy ways
to the street and they were picked up last night

From now on, I’m walking free and lighter everyday
I would love to teach you that lesson, honey
but you’d wouldn’t learn it anyway

Let’s be real now, I won’t allow
these bend over backwards games

How could I explain to you
why I’m sitting out this time?
Honey, what could I possibly say
when you keep crossing that line?

Let’s be real now, you’re out of bounds
and I don’t play that way

If you can’t tell the truth,
then somebody, somebody’s gonna tell it for you

Now that I pay you no mind, you’re treating me kind
Wouldn’t you love for me to play the fool this time?

Let’s be real now, you wonder how
this always comes about

If you can’t tell the truth
then somebody, somebody’s gonna tell it for you

This ain't Texas. This ain't Nashville. This is country that straddles the US and Canadian border. Its wide open, strong, and a little vulnerable, and in a lot of cases having a good ol' time. I love her feel. veenstar
