Lyrics

We Done Wound Up in a Country Song
(Intro)
I. I think you love your horse way better than me.
Your dog is on th' bed when I'm tryin' to sleep.
You'd sooner drink beer and play pool with your friends.
Instead a makin' lovin', even if it's pretend.
(Chorus)
They'll be singin' 'bout us on th' radio.
They'll use our lives for a TV show.
They'll write a little ditty 'bout how we went wrong.
We're gonna wind up in a country song.
(Turnaround)
II. Our life is a topic of th' gossip hounds.
Their blah, blah, blah is spinnin' heads around.
We got us a fake news story to sell.
It just gets wilder every time they tell.
(Chorus)
They'll be singin' 'bout us on th' radio.
They'll use our lives for a TV show.
They'll write a little ditty 'bout how we went wrong.
We're gonna wind up in a country song.
(Turnaround)
III. They say you messed around and I did th' same.
They're all up in our business. They should be ashamed.
Those sinners throwin' stones, got a mobile glass house.
They're callin' me a slut and you a louse.
(Chorus)
They'll be singin' 'bout us on th' radio.
They'll use our lives for a TV show.
They'll write a little ditty 'bout how we went wrong.
We're gonna wind up in a country song.
They'll be singin' 'bout us on th' radio.
They'll use our lives for a TV show.
They'll write a little ditty 'bout how we went wrong.
We're gonna wind up in a country song.
(Tag)
They wrote a little ditty 'bout how we went wrong.
We done wound up in a country song.
We done wound up in a country song.
