That Word Don’t Work No More - Chase Rice&Lori McKenna

[03:07.0]They met at a bar
[03:07.0]That Tuesday with friends
[03:07.0]Wasn’t nothing special ‘bout it
[03:07.0]But that’s where it all begins
[03:07.0]Lookin’ in his eyes felt like she was home
[03:07.0]Woke up the next morning right there in his arms
[03:07.0]She always thought that she’d end up alone
[03:07.0]But that word don’t work no more
[03:07.0]They bought a little house
[03:07.0]Where the porch never ends
[03:07.0]Flag there in the front yard
[03:07.0]Dog inside the fence
[03:07.0]He’s two months in to a new job on the shore
[03:07.0]She’s two weeks late crying on the bathroom floor
[03:07.0]Way up there God’s laughing at their plans
[03:07.0]But that word don’t work no more
[03:07.0]No more
[03:07.0]She burns the casserole
[03:07.0]The kids have made a mess
[03:07.0]He ain’t stuck in traffic
[03:07.0]No, he’s out with the boys again
[03:07.0]He stumbles in half drunk, quarter after 4
[03:07.0]Drops his keys a couple times, slams the old front door
[03:07.0]Stands in the kitchen asking for forgiveness
[03:07.0]But that word don’t work no more
[03:07.0]No more saying “I’m sorry”
[03:07.0]No more “Baby don’t go”
[03:07.0]We use the words too many times they lose their meaning, lose their rhymes
[03:07.0]On this long and crooked road
[03:07.0]They sit cross the table, couple papers to sign
[03:07.0]Hashing out Saturdays and who gets Christmas time
[03:07.0]He’ll get an apartment above the liquor store
[03:07.0]They’ll never get back to the way they were before
[03:07.0]They’ll walk out to the parking lot together
[03:07.0]But that word don’t work no more
