Wasn’t The Chevy

[Verse 1]
He wanted white picket fence Pollyanna
And I was still wrapped up in barbed wire
He was a slow burning heat kinda lover
And I was a full raging fire

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I could paint him the bad guy and blame him
But one thing I ain't is a liar

[Chorus]
It wasn't that lead boot
In the dead of the night
It wasn't that full tank
Gassing up that goodbye
He turned the key, and fired up that V8
Down a hell outta dodge highway
But it wasn't the Chevy
That drove him away

[Verse 2]
Odds never were gonna fall in our favor
No matter which way they were stacked
'Cause half of a heart isnt no good for no one
All I could give him was that

[Pre-Chorus]
The way it unraveled, the dust cloud, the gravel
And the one last long rearview look back

[Chorus]
It wasn't that lead boot
In the dead of the night
It wasn't that full tank
Gassing up that goodbye
He turned the key, he fired up that V-8
Down a hell-outta-dodge highway
But it wasn't the Chevy
That drove him away

[Bridge]
That just let him leave
Heartbroke, no brakes
No that one's on me

[Chorus]
It wasn't that lead boot
In the dead of the night
It wasn't that full tank
Gassing up that goodbye
He turned the key, he fired up that V-8
Down a hell-outta-dodge highway
But it wasn't the Chevy
Nah, it wasn't the Chevy
It wasn't the Chevy
That drove him away
