[Verse I] G Sittin' on the front step D Little white suitcase Em Hearing that diesel C 'Fore it hit the front gate
His headlights burnin' down a Friday night G Southern Belle statue D Standing in the screen door Em Watching her whole world C Head for an old Ford With a man that can't look her in the eye [Pre-Chorus] G Then I run, to him D Big hug, jump in Em And I cry for her C Out the window [Chorus] G Some mommas and daddies D Are loving in a straight line Em Take forever to hearten C And then take a long sweet ride G But some mommas and daddies D Let their heart strings tear and tangle Em And some of us get stuck C In a love triangle
[Verse II] G Bowling alley burger D Fries and a milkshake Em Headed to the same old C Two-dollar matinee G D 'Baby, how's your school been, Em C And how's your mom? ' G Patsy Cline echoes D Back off the dashboard Em Staring at my boots C And the dusty old floorboard Baby, two weeks ain't really all that long [Pre-Chorus] G Then I run, to her D Wrap my arms, around her skirt Em And I cry for him C Out the window [Chorus] G Some mommas and daddies D Are loving in a straight line Em Take forever to hearten C And then take a long sweet ride G But some mommas and daddies D Let their heart strings tear and tangle Em And some of us get stuck
C In a love triangle [Bridge] G Some mommas and daddies D Are loving in a straight line Em Take forever to hearten C And then take a long sweet ride G D But some mommas and daddies Em C Let their heart strings tear and tangle, oh [Last Chorus] G And some mommas and daddies D Ran outta love in '94 Em And some mommas and daddies C Don't even talk no more G And some mommas and daddies D Let their heart strings tear and tangle Em And some of us get stuck C And some of us grow up In a love triangle
