Lorrie lit a cigarette and smiled and waved the smoke out of her face
With her black hair brown from the summer sun
Green eyes looked around the place
And she told me that she loved me and I grinned and grabbed her hand and said I know
Let's get from here now darlin'
If we're goin' let's go on and go
Well Lorrie said her family used to have a little money and they still act like they do
Well your daddy don't think
I'm fit to sit in the same room with you
And if I ever set foot in Sevier county well your brother said he'd break my jaw
But here I stand with the dark haired daughter of Southwest Arkansas
And I've been learnin' that believin' and that barely breakin' even
It's just a part of life for you and me
And I've been livin' with the loneliness
It's got down in my bones
I guess
It's just another phase of bein' free
And I've been learnin' how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along
Well good Lord Lorrie
I love you
Could it go more wrong
Well good Lord Lorrie
I love you
Could it go more wrong
La la la la la la la la la la
Well De Queen's dry so I bought us both a bottle in downtown Broken Bow
Lorrie's got a buddy with a double wide trailer
They were shakin' dominos
And I had good intentions 'till I had too many
I was stupid I suppose
You better put a little money where your mouth is boy and try to keep it closed
And I've been learnin' that believin' and that barely breakin' even
It's just a part of life for you and me
And I've been livin' with the loneliness
It's got down in my bones
I guess
It's just another phase of bein' free
And I've been learnin' how to lose a thing I never laid a hand on all along
Well good Lord Lorrie
I love you
Could it go more wrong
Well good Lord Lorrie
I love you
Could it go more wrong
La la la la la la la la la la
Well Lorrie said I wonder what we ever went through all this trouble for
You ain't half of who
I thought you was and this ain't fun no more
And her words cut clean through drunk and dark and dimmin' doorway light
Well I've had all I can handle
Hope you're happy now
Goodnight
Guess her folks were right
Guess her folks were right
Well good night Lorrie
I love you
Could it go more wrong
Well good night Lorrie
I love you
Could it go more wrong
La la la la la la la la la la
