Seventeen the day she left me
Twenty-three when I moved on
Now I've seen she really wrecked me
Ain't been the same since she's been gone
Now I swam like a rock in the water
Lifting my hands up towards the sky
Thought I'd found my lifelong partner
Little did I know she lived a life of crime
And I thought hearts were for breaking
Because my mama never made mine cry
And I swore I'd never love again
If I see her, guess I could try
Everyone's got a habit worth breaking
Everyone's got a place to hide
And I've seen my share of love worth faking
And I've tried to live but I've already died
And I thought hearts were for breaking
Because my mama never made mine cry
And I swore I'd never love again
But if I see her, guess I could try
So I thought I'd try and find me another
But I've searched and searched
And I could never find
Another woman to fill in for the other
So Kentucky bourbon might just be my bride
And I thought hearts were for breaking
Because my mama never made mine cry
And I swore I'd never love again
But if I see her, guess I could try
Yeah, if I see her, guess I could try
