"Beautiful" Songtext
von Walker Hayes

Rode all the way down memory lane where 65 ends
Wondering how it′d feel to see the one that got away again
Hoping it might go down like that hometown unanswered prayer
My hero sang about on an old burned CD we shared
Something on the interstate told me I
Was headed straight for your pretty storm
That the hurt was still gonna be there just like your name on my arm
Even got real with a girl I chill with up in chapel hill
Told her you were gonna be here just
In case my heart was still in Mobile

Baby, why do you have to be so beautiful?
Baby, why do you have to be so beautiful?


Ain't no telling, girl,
How long it′s been since we did all that shouting
Probably, 10 months 27 days, something like that
But hey, who's counting?
Oh, you know, just living the dream
Home is where the bus is
I could say time looks fine on you but
It wouldn't do it justice, it wouldn′t do it justice

Baby, why do you have to be so beautiful?
Baby, why do you have to be so beautiful?

I don′t think you're stomach′s supposed to hurt
Quite like this when you run into a girl you forgot you missed
It's like the space between us only made me numb
Thought I could just see you and be okay
But I′m not okay, girl
Tell me that smile on your face is so fake
And that it's all coming back, coming back, coming back
I just have to ask, have to ask, have to ask

Baby, why do you have to be so beautiful?
Baby, why do you have to be so beautiful?
Baby, why do you have to be so beautiful?
Baby, why do you have to be so beautiful?
