[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody knows his reputation
Heartbreaker with a permanent reservation
I’ve spent years dodgin’ that man

[Chorus]
Oh no…
He’s smilin’ at me like that
Like he don’t know he’s a heart attack
Like he ain’t left a trail of exes
From here to the Tennessee line and back
The band’s turned up
The tequila’s talkin’
My common sense just started walkin’
Lord help me, I’m in trouble if he takes one step
Don’t smile at me like that

[Verse 2]
He tipped his hat, I looked away
Like I wasn’t watchin’ anyway
My girlfriends laughed, said “Girl, you’re done”
I said “Not a chance” but I wasn’t foolin’ anyone
Another song and another round
Funny how the room got smaller somehow
And every time I looked around
There he was and he knew I’d found him

[Pre-Chorus]
I know better, everybody knows better
But Nashville nights don’t last forever

[Bridge]
I survived every hometown bonfire
Every Friday night and every backroad choir
Never gave that boy a second glance
But here we are beneath these city lights
One look and I’m losin’ that fight
Dang it, maybe I never stood a chance

[Final Chorus]
Oh no…
Now he’s walkin’ over like that
Confidence and a cowboy hat
Like he knows exactly what he’s doin’
And I hate how much I like that
The band’s still rockin’
The tequila’s shoutin’
Every warning sign is callin’
Lord help me, he’s three feet away
And he’s smilin’ at me like that…

[Tag]
Yeah…
This night’s about to be one hell of a bad idea.

[Verse 1] Friday night, girls piled in Headed south where the neon lives Got a room downtown, keys in my hand No plans beyond raisin’ hell with my friends Boots on concrete, music loud Rooftop packed with a whiskey crowd Then across that bar through a sea of hats I saw trouble lookin’ right back [Pre-Chorus] Everybody knows his reputation Heartbreaker with a permanent reservation I’ve spent years dodgin’ that man [Chorus] Oh no… He’s smilin’ at me like that Like he don’t know he’s a heart attack Like he ain’t left a trail of exes From here to the Tennessee line and back The band’s turned up The tequila’s talkin’ My common sense just started walkin’ Lord help me, I’m in trouble if he takes one step Don’t smile at me like that [Verse 2] He tipped his hat, I looked away Like I wasn’t watchin’ anyway My girlfriends laughed, said “Girl, you’re done” I said “Not a chance” but I wasn’t foolin’ anyone Another song and another round Funny how the room got smaller somehow And every time I looked around There he was and he knew I’d found him [Pre-Chorus] I know better, everybody knows better But Nashville nights don’t last forever [Chorus] Oh no… He’s smilin’ at me like that Like he don’t know he’s a heart attack Like he ain’t left a trail of exes From here to the Tennessee line and back The band’s turned up The tequila’s talkin’ My common sense just started walkin’ Lord help me, I’m in trouble if he takes one step Don’t smile at me like that [Bridge] I survived every hometown bonfire Every Friday night and every backroad choir Never gave that boy a second glance But here we are beneath these city lights One look and I’m losin’ that fight Dang it, maybe I never stood a chance [Final Chorus] Oh no… Now he’s walkin’ over like that Confidence and a cowboy hat Like he knows exactly what he’s doin’ And I hate how much I like that The band’s still rockin’ The tequila’s shoutin’ Every warning sign is callin’ Lord help me, he’s three feet away And he’s smilin’ at me like that… [Tag] Yeah… This night’s about to be one hell of a bad idea.
