Boys Like You

Can't ask the whiskey

Not to get you drunk

Can't ask the cigarette that's glowin' red

Not to burn your lungs

Can't ask a river not to run on around the bend

Or cheap paint not to peel on a picket fence

Can't ask a heart not to break

I guess some things aren't meant to change

Boys like you keep one boot out the screen door

Treat a good thing like a detour

And ride off into the sunset

Boys like you leave ashes in the rearview

Find a new world to strike a match to

Yeah the man you ain't knows how to stay

And boys like you were only made to run

Can't ask a player

To show you all their cards

Can't ask a coward not to tuck their tail

And hide out in the dark

Can't ask a love you to mean more than it did

Or a liar not to let it roll off their lips

No I won't die on this hill

Waitin' for you to be somethin' that you never will

'Cause boys like you keep one boot out the screen door

Treat a good thing like a detour

And ride off into the sunset

Boys like you leave ashes in the rearview

Find a new world to strike a match to

Yeah the man you ain't knows how to stay

And boys like you were only made to run

Boys like you were only made to run

Can't ask the whiskey

Not to get you drunk

Can't ask the cigarette that's glowin' red

Not to burn your lungs

Boys like you keep one boot out the screen door

Treat a good thing like a detour

And ride off into the sunset

Boys like you leave ashes in the rearview

Find a new world to strike a match to

Yeah the man you ain't knows how to stay

And boys like you were only made to run

Boys like you were only made to run
