I bet the rain in September
Dancin' on the tin roof don't mean nothin' to you
I bet when you taste Kentucky
That needle don't move, it's just whiskey to you
It's like this town won't give me a break
I still go out but all that it takes is
One streetlight
And I'm right back in the backseat
Kissin' in a New York taxi
Every time someone asks me
Why I hate that love song
It's a time machine when it comes on
Hands on your hips in the neon light
It's almost like
Everything takes me back but you
Livin' on memory avenue
The nights are long and the days are too
When everything takes me back but you
I bet the sound of the highway
Or a roadside motel, don't put you through hell
Ya and I bet that your mama don't mention my name
When you call she probably hates me like I hate that just
One streetlight
And I'm right back in the backseat
Kissin' in a New York taxi
Every time someone asks me
Why I hate that love song
It's a time machine when it comes on
Hands on your hips in the neon light
It's almost like
Everything takes me back but you
Livin' on memory avenue
The nights are long and the days are too
When everything takes me back but you
Yeah all it takes is one streetlight
And I'm right back in the backseat
Kissin' in a New York taxi
Every time someone asks me
Why I hate that love song
It's a time machine when it comes on
Hands on your hips in the neon light
It's almost like
Everything takes me back but you
Livin' on memory avenue
The nights are long and the days are too
When everything takes me back but you
Every state I'm in, every state of mind
Just rewinds me to goodbye
Even when I don't want it to
Everything takes me back but you"
