[Verse 1]
I’m still late on an oil change
Even after my second transmission
Still telling myself to be on time
Running out the door at the last minute
Still losing my keys
Leaving my boots out in the rain
Ain’t thinking most things through
But girl when it comes to you
[Chorus]
That’s a lesson that you can’t unlearn
That’s a bridge that you can’t unburn
That’s a curve caught lookin’ one strike you’re out
A dropped hail Mary on the last fourth down
Should’ve known better showing up too late
That’s a wish I woulda just done it any other way
Losing a girl, that was second to none
Yeah, that’s a mistake
That you only gonna make once
[Verse 2]
When an angel runs out of mercy
To give a damn tears to cry
Does a little more than hurt you
Stops your whole world on a dime
That’s a back to the wall, wake-up call
It’s a helluva point that made it across
[Chorus]
That’s a lesson that you can’t unlearn
That’s a bridge that you can’t unburn
That’s a curve caught lookin’ one strike you’re out
A dropped hail Mary on the last fourth down
Should’ve known better showing up too late
That’s a wish I woulda just done it any other way
Losing a girl, that was second to none
Yeah, that’s a mistake
That you only gonna make once
[Bridge]
I made it when you left the drive
I know you might be dead set on goodbye
But I’ll be ready just in case
You ain’t out there still thinking that I’m
[Chorus]
Just a lesson that you can’t unlearn
Or a bridge that you can’t unburn
A curve caught lookin’ one strike you’re out
A dropped hail Mary on the last fourth down
Should’ve known better showing up too late
It’s a wish I woulda just done it any other way
Losing a girl, that was second to none
Yeah, that’s a mistake
That you only gonna make once
[Outro]
You only gonna make once

I grew up listening to a CD from front to back. I don’t know that everybody does that anymore, but it’s certainly a way I like to do it. And I always try to schedule my songs on my album for that reason. But it’s just such an easy listen. I can remember when the song—it sounds like it ends. I didn’t...
