Somewhere between watching dolly parton on the grand ole opry live and seeing kenny chesney shake it in those tight jeans, I realized I wanted to find the honky tonk inside me and let it shine. This song is an ode to my tortured honky tonk inner child.
My minds been talking in circles
playing your voice inside my head
I need to hear that its over
then get the hell right out of my bed
Cause I am tired of waiting on you
to show up and make it all right all right all right
Chorus
No way no how will I let you let me down easy
Not now not ever will I settle for less than I needed
You let me think I’m hard to handle
to rough inside to love
Not open wide enough to let go of taking care of myself
but you lied you lied you lied each time I let you
let you creep inside
Chorus
They say you get what you give…say you get what you give
But you got to know what you want…you got to know what you want
I’m not sure what I want
So is this all that I get…Is this all that I get
Chorus
You looked perfect on paper, sized you up on an 8x10
Measured up alright later that night
But your words didn’t stop to
listen to what your heart had to say
Till it was too late, it was too it was too,
it was too goddamn late
No way no how will I let you let me down easy
Not now not ever will I settle for less than I needed
Not now not ever will I settle for less than I needed
