townsend death of me Lyrics

I should’ve known that she was trouble 
From the minute I met her
Put a tequila on my tab 
Took my hand and I let her
And we left together

And now we’re 
Train hopping, bar popping
Bottles in between
Inhibitions nonexistent 
When she looks at me
Second devil on my shoulder 
where an angel oughta be

Cause she’s a

Lit cig and I’m a chain-smoker chasing my fix
The cut brakes and I’m a truck headed straight for the cliff
A short fuse and I’m a barrel full of TNT
Oh, blow it up and flee the scene

She’s the

Bartender over-serving me that 101
That trigger finger pulling slowly on a loaded gun
That bold warning on the label that I just wont read
That girl
Yeah she’s gonna be the 
death of me

Yeah she’s gonna be the death of 

She’s playing chicken with cars
She does the same to my heart
I ain’t afraid of the scars
And that’s the crazy part

What’s gotten into me lately 
Went and pulled a 180
Picking pain over safety
Its so hard 

Walking out when she walking ’round wearing that
tiny top with that ink running down her back
No slowing down 
She the type that wanna take it fast
And she don’t gotta ask

She a

Lit cig and I’m a chain-smoker chasing my fix
The cut brakes and I’m a truck headed straight for the cliff
A short fuse and I’m a barrel full of TNT
Oh, blow it up and flee the scene

She’s the

Bartender over-serving me that 101
That trigger finger pulling slowly on a loaded gun
That bold warning on the label that I just wont read
That girl
Yeah she’s gonna be the 
death of me

That girl is gonna be my downfall
Might hurt
But now I think I’m in too deep
That girl
Is making me rethink it all
That girl 
Yeah she’s gonna be the 
death of me
