girl you're taking home

I got the whiskey, she gets the good-year bottle of wine
I got the neon, she gets the back porch strung-up lights
I got the white lies, she gets the truth
She gets the version I wanted of you

If I was good enough to be your last call
Why is she the one you call your mama about?
After seein' all the BS I saw
Why is she the one who sees your best side now?
If I'm the first thing on your mind the second she lets go
Then why ain't I the girl you're takin' home?

I saw the pictures, and she gets to cross that county line
I bet she's ridin' shotgun in your dad's old '85
Bet she met your grandma, you took her to church
She gets the cleaned-up, and I got the dirt, and it hurts 'cause

If I was good enough to be your last call
Why is she the one you call your mama about?
After seein' all the BS I saw
Why is she the one who sees your best side now?
If I'm the first thing on your mind the second she lets go
Then why ain't I the girl you're takin' home?

Yeah, take her home
Where you grew up
Baby, why ain't I the one you love?

If I was good enough to be your last call
Why is she the one you call your mama about?
After seein' all the BS I saw
Why is she the one who sees your best side now?
If I'm the first thing on your mind the second she lets go
Then why ain't I the girl you're takin' home?
Then why ain't I the girl you're takin' home?

Then why ain't I the girl you're takin' home?
