(Starts with a gritty, blues-infused country-rock guitar riff and a steady, driving drum beat) (Verse 1) Walked in through the swinging doors 'bout a quarter past nine The air was thick with cheap perfume, stale beer, and neon signs I was just lookin' for a quiet corner, a place to disappear When I saw her sittin' all alone, smilin' in the mirror Long black hair and leather boots, a danger in her eyes Half of me knew I should run, the other half was hypnotized She was a perfect storm cloud brewin' in a Mason jar of gin And I was a fool who knew he had to go and walk right in. (Chorus) Damn, I saw a beautiful woman in the bar tonight... Oh, She's the one my momma!..... warned me all about, with no doubttt.............. She's frisky, she's riskyy, and she's drinkin' all my whiskeyYY......------ Dragged me straight through hell and left me high and dry Oh, whyyyy...., oh whyyy....., oh whyyyYY..... don't I ever learn… why don't I try? (Verse 2) I slid onto the stool beside her, said "What'll it be?" She said, "Top-shelf tequila, cowboy, for you and for me." One round turned to four, and four turned into ten The jukebox was cryin' Johnny Cash again and again We were dancin' and laughin', I was flyin' high and fast Puttin' every single dollar I had on the bar, just praying it would last Next thing that I remember, she was askin' for my keys Said she knew a backroad shortcut, just as prettyyy.. as you please. (Chorus) Oh, She's the one my momma!..... warned me all about, with no doubttt.............. She's frisky, she's riskyy, and she's drinkin' all my whiskeyYY......------ Dragged me straight through hell and left me high and dry Oh, whyyyy...., oh whyyy....., oh whyyyYY..... don't I ever learn… why don't I try? (Bridge) Now the sun is comin' up here in Beaver, Utah this morn' My truck's wrapped 'round a telephone pole, my wallet's stripped and torn She disappeared into the sunrise, didn't even leave a name Just the ghost of her perfume and the echo of myyy...... shame...... (Guitar Solo - Raw, soulful, and full of regret, telling the story of the wild night and the crash) (Chorus) Oh, She's the one my momma!..... warned me all about, with no doubttt.............. She's frisky, she's riskyy, and she's drinkin' all my whiskeyYY......------ Dragged me straight through hell and left me high and dry Oh, whyyyy...., oh whyyy....., oh whyyyYY..... don't I ever learn… why don't I try? (Outro) (Music softens to just the lone guitar riff from the beginning) Why don't I learn... Got a ten-mile walk back home... Yeah, whyyyy.......... don't I even try? (Guitar fades out)
