Seventeen and wild at heart, barefoot runnin’ through the dark. You were danger dressed in denim dreams, vodka train and shattered seams. I tried to love you through the pain, but when you drink, you bring the rain. And I’m done tryin’ to save a man who don’t wanna stand. Now I’m sippin’ sweet tea on my mama’s porch, watchin’ that sun go down. Thinkin’ ‘bout the one I should’ve held instead of that lost-and-found. He’s still out there, heart of gold, waitin’ where my roots still run. I’m leavin’ behind your whiskey stains for sweet tea and second chances, hon’. I packed my past and drove away, left you ridin’ that vodka train. I found my peace where the magnolias bloom, and my heart’s got a little more room. Now I’m sippin’ sweet tea on my mama’s porch, watchin’ that sun go down. Thinkin’ ‘bout the one I should’ve held instead of that lost-and-found. He’s still out there, heart of gold, waitin’ where my roots still run. I’m leavin’ behind your heartbreak dances, for sweet tea and second chances. Yeah, I’m done with your pain, off that vodka train — I’m headin’ home, for sweet tea and second chances.
