Can't ask the whiskey
Not to get you drunk
Can't ask the cigarette that's glowing red
Not to burn your lungs
Can't ask a river not to run on a roundabout
Or cheap paint not to pill on a picket fence
Can't ask a heart not to break
I guess some things aren't meant to change
Boys like you keep on bird out the screen
door Treat a good thing like a detour
Ride off into the sunset
Boys like you leave ashes in the rearview
Find a new world to strike a match to
Yeah,
the man you ain't knows how to stay
And boys like you were only made to run
Can't ask a player
to show you all their cards Can't ask a coward not to tuck their tail
And hide out in the dark Can't ask to love you to me more than it did
Or a liar not to let a roll off their lips No,
I won't die on this hill
Waiting for you to be something that you never will
Cause boys like you keep on bird out the screen door
Treat a good thing like a detour Ride off into the sunset
Boys like you leave ashes in the rearview
Find a new world to strike a match to Yeah,
the man you ain't knows how to stay
And boys like you were only made to
run Boys like you were only made to run
Can't ask the whiskey not to get you drunk
Can't ask the cigarette that's glowing red
Not to burn your lungs
Boys like you keep on bird out the screen door Treat
a good thing like a detour Ride off into the sunset
Boys like you leave ashes in the rearview
Find a new world to strike a match to Yeah,
the man you ain't knows how to stay
And boys like you were only made to run
Boys like you were only made to run
