Happens Every Time Songtext
von Redferrin

(Swear it happens every time)
(I swear it happens every time)
(Swear it happens every time)

Been runnin′ down bright lights
Burnin' down a borrowed guitar
Singin′ broken- hearted country songs
It's the same old story
Lettin' that drag talk for me
I regret it in the mornin′
But right now, I don′t

Oh, check the phone one more time
Just a- hopin' that you′ll ring it, baby
But you don't
Yeah, so I end up crossin′ lines
Tryin' to find someone to love me ′cause you won't


It happens every time
I go try bein' mean to you as someone new
Yeah, girl, it oughta be a crime
To keep on lyin′ all the time like I ain′t stuck on you
No, 'cause it just ain′t true
You know that's somethin′ I say
You know that's somethin′ I do
To get me through it when I'm missin' you
It happens every time
Swear it happens every time

Yeah, we had a two- lane town
In the palm of our hands
Couple Lynchburg lovers, but we let it go
Should be rockin′ on a poor swing
But I run from a short thing
Faster than a Mississippi River flows, oh
Yeah, you think I learned my lesson
Then quit messin′ with fire
But I just light another smoke
I'll say it, "Done after this"
′Til I get drinkin' again
I swear it happens every time
I go try bein′ mean to you as someone new


Yeah, girl, it oughta be a crime
To keep on lyin' all the time like I ain′t stuck on you
No, 'cause it just ain't true
You know that′s somethin′ I say
You know that's somethin′ I do
To get me through it when I'm missin′ you
It happens every time
Swear it happens every time (swear it happens)

I love you, then I leave you
Act like I don't need you, baby
I know that I can′t keep you
Ain't no way to treat you, baby
I keep stringin' you along
Just hopin′ maybe I could change somehow
But it never works, oh
I swear it happens every time
I go try bein′ mean to you as someone new

Yeah, girl, it oughta be a crime
To keep on lyin' all the time like I ain′t stuck on you
No, 'cause it just ain′t true
You know that's somethin′ I say
You know that's somethin' I do
To get me through it when I′m missin′ you
It happens every time
Swear it happens every time (swear it happens every time)
Yeah
