  • Straight off the plane from California
    Knew the minute that I laid eyes on ya
    Heart is gonna be as good as gold and
    You're the kind that wanted it all

    Lit a wild fire in my bed
    You took my wallet and you wrecked my head
    Drank my bourbon burned my cigarettes
    And now I don't feel nothing at all, all

    Well I could rob a bank and beg her back
    Break down and show her where the money's at
    But that girl loves diamonds and Cadillacs
    Cheaper to drink
    It's cheaper to drink

    Yes she leave you more than heart broke
    High heels and high dollar cosmos
    I wish it was but it ain't no joke
    It's cheaper to drink
    Cheaper to drink
    Cheaper to drink alone

    Well I guess I should have seen the warning
    But you was everything I ever wanted
    Always kept me coming back for more
    And God I felt like taking you home

    You burn a memory in my head
    Like shots of whiskey when they hit your chest
    You loved me and let me in the red
    And now I don't feel nothing but broke
    Yeah, broke

    Well I could rob a bank and beg her back
    Break down and show her where the money's at
    That girl loves diamonds and Cadillacs
    Cheaper to drink
    It's cheaper to drink

    Yes she leave you more than heart broke
    High heels and high dollar cosmos
    I wish it was but it ain't no joke
    It's cheaper to drink
    Cheaper to drink
    Cheaper to drink alone

    Well I could rob a bank and beg her back
    Break down and show her where the money's at
    That girl loves diamonds and Cadillacs
    Cheaper to drink
    It's cheaper to drink

    Yes she leave you more than heart broke
    High heels and high dollar cosmos
    I wish it was but it ain't no joke
    It's cheaper to drink
    Cheaper to drink
