You were a Stetson and I was 19
You were the colors that I'd never seen
You were whiskey, I was grenadine
Marlboro reds mixed with teenage green
And like fireworks, we lit up the sky
But no one here talks about the 5th of July
Wish I had known how this would shake out
You were a Mustang that I couldn't break down
The TV don't show the mess love can make
One domino onto the next until the living breaks
Just like that
And it falls so
But you can't go back before the aftermath
A couple of white pills and a glass of red wine
Only damn thing to wash you out my mind
Lost my virtue and you kept your pride
The best and the worst thing that I've done with my time
You were a Stetson and I was 19



Wish I had known how this would shake out
You were a Mustang that I couldn't break down
The TV don't show the mess love can make
One domino onto the next until the living breaks
Just like that
And it falls so fast
But you can't go back before the aftermath
They'll come back, they'll come back, they'll come back, they'll come back, they'll come back, they'll come back
Don't talk about champagne, the flowers in the chapel
Don't talk about the wreckage when everything unravels
Wish I had known how this would shake out
You were a Mustang that I couldn't break down
The TV don't show the mess love can make
One domino onto the next until the living breaks
Just like that
And it falls so fast
But you can't go back
Before the aftermath
