lyrics

He's strung out like a Tennessee river
with whiskey in his blood and arrows in his quiver
we weren't sure exactly what to do cause were
sitting on the sidewalk staring at the moon

and we all
we all just stay the same
we don't change

he said
please fix my boots so I won't finish last
make sure that man of yours stays way back in the past
if love's forever how come it never seems to last
so drink it down and drink it fast

I stopped once to ask if he's ok
with his fists up in the air he drove me away
cause his girl would nibble at his pride
till he was't smiling and neither was I

and we all
we all just stay the same
we don't change

he said
she rigged my boots so that I would finish last
I guess I'm drifting now so far back in her past
she told me love's forever but that it
never seems to last
so drink it down and drink it fast

there's no words I know it seems absurd
but I'm chasing after her like a dog after the birds
it's futile, I'll do it for a while
till I fall down to my knees and I can't help but smile

cause we all
just stay the same
yeah we all
just stay the same
we don't change

I fix my boots so I won't finish last
do what you need to cause I'm coming back
love's forever if we'd only let it last
so take your time
