V1:
I should be writing songs about dirt roads
About staring out the window at the corn rows
I should be writing songs about wheat fields
About golden glow out the tractor windshield
I should be writing songs about sunsets
About nights I'll never forget
I should be writing songs about hometowns
About driving till the sun goes down
Chorus:
Instead I'm writing songs about you
About loving and losing, heartbreak and moving on
About long nights spent with strong drinks
When all drunk me could do was think
About what went wrong
And even though its been so long
I'm still writing songs about you
V2:
I should be writing songs about bonfires
About weekends with the boys tearing up tires
I should be writing songs about blue eyes
About truck bed dates lasting till sunrise
I should be writing songs about going home
About that sacred place where I'm never alone
I should be writing songs about Sundays
About gathering together throwing up praise
Chorus:
Instead I'm writing songs about you
About loving and losing, heartbreak and moving on
About long nights spent with strong drinks
When all drunk me could do was think
About what went wrong
And even though its been so long
I'm still writing songs about you
Bridge:
I shouldn't be writing songs about you
So I'm going to start pushing through
Change my thoughts, cuz there still lots
Of other things to put into words
So this is the last song I'll write about you
Outro:
No more writing songs about you
About loving and losing, heartbreak and moving on
About long nights spent with strong drinks
When all drunk me could do was think
About what went wrong
And even though its been so long
I'm over writing songs about you
