You could have mentioned you were far too good for me
The first time that we met
It was on your mind, the whole damn night
You just couldn’t catch your breath
So I drive home with a smile on my face
Just a naïve kid, running backwards in the race
I must have too much self control
You can bet if there’s a next time
Ain’t no asking involved: I’ll take it all
If there’s a god, he’s six feet underground
Shoveling out the dirt beneath our feet
And if I fall into the trap he’s laid
I’ll give him one good victory, but at the end of the day
I’m driving home with a smile on my face
Still a naïve kid, but I’m gonna win this race
Now I’m waking up with a smile on my face
I’m moving on while you’re running in place
So I bite my lip, and hold my tongue
And watch you all just sing along
You can bet if there’s a next time,
Ain’t no asking involved: I’ll take it all
