I was ridin' on a one way ticket to an early grave
My path of destruction has long been paved
If not for you, I might have never been saved
But you caught me at a bad time

Chorus:
Why you gotta be so pretty?
Why you gotta be so cool?
You're all that I want and the last thing I need
Is to fall in love with you

I was planning on a couple more years
Of painting this town
I've never met a woman who could hold me down
But you're the one girl that could turn it all around
But you could have picked a better time

Chorus

Bridge:
Adios to all those late nights
And the end of care-free days
I don't think I'll put up a fight
If you'll just stand in my way

Chorus
