You were a Stetson, and I was nineteen You were the colors that I'd never seen You were whiskey, I was grenadine Marlboro Reds mixed with teenage green Like fireworks, we lit up the sky But no one here talks about the 5th of July Wish I'd known how this would shake out You were a mustang that I couldn't break down The TV don't show the mess love can make One domino onto the next until the levee breaks Just like that, and you fall so fast But you can't go back before the aftermath Couple white pills and a glass of red wine Only damn thing to wash you out my mind Lost my virtue, and you kept your pride The best and the worst thing that I've done with my time Wish I'd known how this would shake out You were a mustang that I couldn't break down The TV don't show the mess love can make One domino onto the next until the levee breaks Just like that, and you fall so fast But you can't go back before the aftermath They'll talk about champagne The flowers in the chapel Don't talk about the wreckage When everything unravels Wish I'd known how this would shake out You were a mustang that I couldn't break down The TV don't show the mess love can make One domino onto the next until the levee breaks Just like that, and you fall so fast But you can't go back Before the aftermath
