girl you’re taking home Songtext
von Ella Langley

I got the whiskey
She gets the Goodyear bottle o′ wine
I got the neon
She gets the back-porch, strung-up lights
I got the white lies, she gets the truth
She gets the version I wanted o' you

If I was good enough to be your last call
Why is she the one you call your mama about?
After seein′ all the BS I saw
Why is she the one who sees your best side now?
If I'm first thing on your mind the second she lets go
Then why ain't I the girl you′re taking home?


I saw the pictures
And she gets to cross that county line
I bet she′s ridin' shotgun
In your dad′s old '85
Bet she met your grandma
You took her to church
She gets the cleaned-up, and I got the dirt
And it hurts ′cause

If I was good enough to be your last call
Why is she the one you call your mama about?
After seein' all the BS I saw
Why is she the one who sees your best side now?
If I′m first thing on your mind the second she lets go
Then why ain't I the girl you're taking home?

Yeah, take her home
Where you grew up
Baby, why ain′t I the one you love?

If I was good enough to be your last call
Why is she the one you call your mama about?
After seein′ all the BS I saw
Why is she the one who sees your best side now?
If I'm first thing on your mind the second she lets go
Then why ain′t I the girl you're taking home?
Then why ain′t I the girl you're taking home?

Then why ain′t I the girl you're taking home?
