Lyrics

Baby, how'd you end up here?

In a Texas town, in a wedding gown

With a near beer

Baby, how'd it go so wrong?

And you don't belong

But I bet they all think you're sincere

I've known you since your eyes were blue

I'd die before I'd lie to you

And this ain't it, baby

This ain't it, baby

Lord knows I like to roll the dice

And I don't give the best advice

But this ain't it, baby

This ain't it, baby

Remember when you fell so hard?

You were seventeen

He was a libertine with a black card

Remember how it fucked you up?

You were acting tough

With a fake ID in the Crow Bar

I've known you for your whole damn life

You're more than just some rich man's wife

And this ain't it, baby

This ain't it, baby

You know that there'd be hell to pay

If your mama was alive today

And this ain't it, baby

This ain't it, baby

Baby, let me take you home

You'll love the place

I got extra space

And I stay gone

Tell him what's on your heart

And the hardest part

Will be looking away from his cell phone

I ain't always been around

I build you up and let you down

But this ain't it, baby

This ain't it, baby

I've known you since your eyes were blue

I'd die before I'd lie to you

But this ain't it, baby

This ain't it, baby

Baby, how'd you end up here?

Oh baby, how'd you end up here?

Oh baby, how'd you end up here?

Oh baby, how'd you end up here?

Baby, how'd you end up here?

Oh baby, how'd you end up here?

Oh baby, how'd you end up here?

Oh baby, how'd you end up here?
