Jana Kramer planned the white picket fence dream with a lover before losing it all and only having the house to remember it by in “Dammit.”
The song, penned by Nicolle Galyon and Elizabeth Huett, takes a long, hard look at revisiting the foreseen future once it’s ripped out from underneath someone’...
[Verse 1]
I was drivin' to town and I passed by a house
The one with pillars on the porch
Had a sign on the door said "for sale"
So what the hell
I walked in, and sat down on some strangers couch
Solid Oak Hardwood floors
Didn't need to see more
'Cause I could hear you in the kitchen
Playin' your guitar
All our friends coming over
Little lights in the yard
[Chorus]
And dammit
Didn't we almost have it?
Honestly, I still don't understand it
We used to love to sit and talk and wish
And picture and planin'
Man, now I just...dammit
[Verse 2]
I think the owners could tell I was lost in myself
So they left me alone, said "make yourself right at home"
I was already makin' dinner
Callin' you down the stairs
Little girl out the window
Hear her laughin' out there
[Chorus]
Dammit
Didn't we almost have it?
Honestly, I still don't understand it
We used to love to sit and talk and wish
And picture and planin'
Man now, I just...dammit
Baby, didn't we almost have it?
Honestly, I still don't understand it
We used to love to sit, talk and wish
And picture and plan it
Man, now I just... dammit
[Bridge]
Now I'm driving away
Thinking "oh, what a shame"
You can pray, you can hope
But you just never know
I guess that two bedroom picket fence magic
Can't ever be ours now, can it?
(Dammit)
[Outro]
Ooh
Honestly, I still don't understand it
Thinking how could we, coulda had it
We coulda had it
Dammit
