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
