Boots on bar stool three fingers ninety proof nothing’s broken
Having me a good time trying to keep my mind in the moment
I should be burning up the neon but I’m stirring up the morning regret
It’s like I know it’s gonna happen even though it isn’t happening yet
Why does one more night sound right when I know that it don’t
Why do last-call lights make me call you when I say that I won’t
Why do goodbye songs make me want you so bad
Girl I know that it’s wrong but your kiss is a glass
Of good whiskey I can’t water down
Old flames are hard fires to put out
Nothing said at the door
As your dress hits the floor
Get the match lit
From a spark to a bed
You’ll be gone I’ll be left
With the ashes
It always happens
Why does one more night sound right when I know that it don’t?
Why do last-call lights make me call you when I say that I won’t?
Why do goodbye songs make me want you so bad?
Girl I know that it’s wrong but your kiss is a glass
Of good whiskey I can’t water down
Old flames are hard fires to put out
Every time I think it’s over you wind up coming over
Yeah you wind up coming over
And the moving on gets lost in the heat of the smoke
So hell if I know
Why does one more night sound right when I know that it don’t?
Why do last-call lights make me call you when I say that I won’t?
Say I won’t call ya but ooh I want to call ya
Why do goodbye songs make me want you so bad?
Make me want you so bad
Girl I know that it’s wrong but your kiss is a glass
Of good whiskey I can’t water down
I can’t water down
Old flames are hard fires to put out
Hard fires
