The Nerve

[Verse 1]
The hope for rain hung in the air
On the night that we met
But all I got was a Farm to Market road
And an empty pack of cigarettes
You kicked your head back and laughed
When I grabbed your hand and asked you to dance
There I learned God picks and chooses prayers
And we never stood a chance

[Chorus]
Shake me loose, baby
'Cause you know I'm gonna keep on runnin' back to you
Oh, the goddamn nerve you have
To let me fall in love like I said I do

[Verse 2]
The way the high beams cut through the night
Like a thief on the run
I learned I'd rather die slow and confused from you
Everything I've said and done
'Cause you said twenty-six years is too old for young love
And too young to die from one
We couldn't help we was caught in between
And was gonna feel alive for once

[Chorus]
Shake me loose, baby
'Cause you know I'm gonna keep on runnin' back to you
Oh, the goddamn nerve you have
To let me fall in love like I said I do

[Bridge]
Well I guess it's true what most folks say
That all good things must end
But I don't wanna go
'Cause to me, you are home

[Chorus]
Shake me loose, baby
'Cause you know I'm gonna keep on runnin' back to you
Oh, the goddamn nerve you have
The goddamn nerve you have
To let me fall in love like I said I do
