Reckless Songtext
von Outshyne

It′s another, baby, I'm goin′ out tonight
And I swear I won't be late this time
I promise not to drink too much
And it's another, she′s waitin′ up by the phone
Prayin' to God that I′ll call home
Yeah, she's scared to death that I′ve had a wreck or I'm hurt
But it′s 6 AM when I come rollin' up

I say, "Baby, I'm reckless
I just can′t help it
I drank way too much
I know it′s way too late
I lost track of time
But girl, I'm sorry
Can you please forgive me?"
She said, "Boy, you′ve used those lines a thousand times"
And then she said, "Sorry ain't workin′ this time"


She just packed her bags and tore out the drive
She left a cloud of dust and gravel flyin'
I hope I didn′t push her too far
'Cause now I'm sittin′ here by this phone
And I′m prayin' to God that she′ll call home
I just hope she's alright
Well, I guess this was how she felt all those nights

When I was reckless
I just couldn′t help it
I drank way too much
I know it's way too late
I lost track of time
But girl, I′m sorry
Can you please forgive me?
Right now, I bet she's crossin' that county line
Oh, and I guess sorry ain′t workin′ this time

I know I put her through hell all those sleepless nights
When I should've been home and holdin′ her tight
But the phone's ringin′ and I know
It's her on the other end of that line
And I′ve gotta make this right


I said, "Baby, I'm sorry
Can you please forgive me?
I know there's a lot of things I need to change
Sometimes I′m reckless
I know you′re tired of this"
She said, "Your excuses still don't make this right"
Ooh, and then she said, "′Cause sorry ain't workin′ this time"

Ooh, yeah, yeah
