Lyrics
You got carried away didn’t you?
Not the first time there’s dirt on us both
You got carried away but that’s no excuse
Now you expect me to lighten your load?
I saw what you did in the kitchen
Smelled her perfume linger too long
I can’t stand your helpless bitchin
Got carried away now Carrie’s gone
(Chorus)
Now she’s taking your keys to my tires
Like I’m the one to blame
Wish you’d trade me in like all your girls
But now oh now it’s too late
The rain is pounding in Tulsa
Turn my radio up blare it loud
But rain can’t wash off her boot prints
And no one hears my warning sound
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
You’ve been driving me all these places
And driving me insane
You lose control, go down that road
I’ve seen it again and again
I’m taking you for a humble tumble
I’m not your truck of love
It’s not my fault you fumbled
Just your sign from up above
When you got out to see her
You forgot to pull the break
On that hill you kicked the bucket
As I rolled into the lake
(Chorus)
