Never Should Have Come This Way

Liner Notes
Lyrics
Feel the whiskey coursing through me
See you sitting there lying to me
Makes me wonder why I still believe a word you say
Watch the barroom slowly spinning
No excuses, looks like you’re winning
I’m the one who’s lost. I never should have come this way
I was just a Yankee rover
Cruising west on a four-leaf clover
Think about the way we met
We thought the heat would stay
Heading down this endless alley
Disappointment is all we tally
Such a waste of time. I never should have come this way
I remember when it all was soft and warm
Every word a song in harmonies that carried us along
Instrumental verse
All the changes that became the life we lead
I’m not just blaming you. A tragedy like this made by two
Here we sit, the bar is closing
One is lying and one is posing
Slouching past the midnight toll to stain another day
Could we ever break this habit?
Birthing problems like some sad rabbit
Time to turn and run. I never should have come this way
Chase the rising sun. I never should have come this way
