Sittin' on the front step
Little white suit case
Hearing that diesel
'Fore it hit the front gate
His headlights burnin' down a Friday night
Southern Belle statue
Standing in the screen door
Watching her whole world
Head for an old four
With a man who can't look her in the eye
So I run to him
Big hug, jump in
And I cry for her
Out the window
Some mama's and daddies
Are lovin' in a straight line
Take forever to heart and take a long sweet ride
But some mama's and daddies
Let their heartstrings tear and tangle
And some of us get stuck in love triangles
Bowling alley burger
Fries and milkshake
Headin' to the same old
Two-dollar matinee
Baby, how's your school been?
And how's your mom?
Patsy Cline echos back off the dashboard
Starin' at my boots and the dusty old floorboards
Baby, two weeks ain't really all that long
So I run to her
Wrap my arms around her skirt
And I cry for him
Out the window
Some mama's and daddies
Are lovin' in a straight line
Take forever to heart and take a long sweet ride
But some mama's and daddies
Let their heartstrings tear and tangle
And some of us get stuck in love triangles
Ooooh, ooh, In a love triangle, yeah
Ooooh, ooh
Some mama's and daddies
Are lovin' in a straight line
Take forever to heart and take a long sweet ride
But some mama's and daddies
Let their heartstrings tear and tangle, oh
But some mama's and daddies
Ran outta love in '94
But some mama's and daddies
Don't even talk no more
But some mama's and daddies
Let their heartstrings tear and tangle
And some of us get stuck,
And some of us grow up in love triangles
Ooooh
