lyrics

our show clothes hang on the shower
and our mix tapes they cover the floor
I get cranky and laugh
after too many stops for gas
I'm just driving and thinking of you

the next morning is always the hardest
wine bottles all over the ground
there's a shotgun shell near the wreck of my heart
and the whiskey always does its part

CHORUS

tonight we'll step on that stage
and sweat for you under those lights
we'll show you our dreams
the secrets we've seen
drunk carnies dance into the night

CHORUS

there's a shotgun shell near the
wreck of my heart
and the whiskey always does its part
