  • I mean, Henry, come on
    Do you think I'd really choose it?
    All this off and on
    Henry, come on
    I mean, baby, come on
    Do you think I'd really lose it on ya
    If you did nothin' wrong?
    Henry, come on

    Last call, "Hey, y'all"
    Hang his hat up on the wall
    Tell him that his cowgirl is gone
    Go on and giddy up
    Soft leather, blue jeans
    Call us into void's dreams
    Return it but say it was fun

    And it's not because of you
    That I turned out so dangerous
    Yesterday, I heard God say, "It's in your blood"
    And it struck me just like lightning
    I've been fightin', I've been strivin'
    Yesterday, I heard God say
    "You were born to be the one
    To hold the hand of the man
    Who flies too close to the sun"

    I'll still be nice to your mom
    It's not her fault you're leavin'
    Some people come and they're gone
    They just fly away
    Take your ass to the house
    Don't even bother explainin'
    There's no workin' it out
    No way

    It's last call, "Hey, y'all"
    Hang his hat up on the wall
    Tell him that his cowgirl is gone
    Go on and giddy up
    Soft leather, blue jeans
    Don't you get it? That's the thing
    You can't chase a ghost when it's gone

    And it's not because of you
    That I turned out so dangerous
    Yesterday, I heard God say, "It's in your blood"
    And it struck me just like lightning
    I've been fightin', I've been strivin'
    But yesterday, I heard God say
    "You were born to be the one
    To hold the hand of the man
    Who flies too close to the sun"

    All these country singers
    And their lonely rides to Houston
    Doesn't really make for the best
    You know, settle-down type

    It's last call, "Hey, y'all"
    Hang his hat up on the wall
    Tell him that his cowgirl is gone
    Go on and giddy up
    Last call, "Hey, y'all"
    Hang his hat up on the wall
    Tell him that his cowgirl is gone
    Go on and giddy up
    Go on and giddy up
    Go on and giddy up
