She hates goin' anywhere in my old truck She says: It's always muddy and it rides so rough And there ain't no graceful way to climb up in a dress Yeah, I'm about as country as she gets. I might get her on the lake to fish with me If the water's smooth and the sky is blue with a nice, cool breeze But anything we catch, I'll have to clean myself 'Cause I'm about as country as she gets. She'll slip off a pair of heels Walk barefoot across the field Climb up on a fence just to be near me Sometimes I think that horse still scares her half-to-death Yeah, I'm about as country as she gets. She likes bein' within spendin' distance of a mall Havin' enough bars to make a cell phone call Put her in a crowd and she's right in her element Yeah, I'm about as country as she gets. But she'll slip out on the porch sometimes When that sun's low in the sky Pull up a rockin' chair just to be with me Until that first big June bug buzzes by her head See I'm about as country as she gets. Yeah, I'm about as country as she gets. She hates goin' anywhere in my old truck...

We meet at the Broken Spoke Restaurant and Lounge I lit your cigarette then you wrote your number down. On the inside of a matchbook that was laying on the bar And a fire started burning somewhere in my heart I didn't see it coming, guess I didn't read the signs I just never thought you'd leave me after all this time. But today when I came home my key was hollow in the door And there was nothing but a worn out book of matches on the floor You took the bed; you took the dishes and the car And you broke my trust and you took advantage of my heart And you left me here with empty rooms and walls with holes, scars and scratches, If I find the strength to burn your memory down At least you left the matches. The color is old and faded; the cover's worn and stained I can still make out the numbers and the heart beside your name Until tonight they'd only lit a single cigarette Now one by one I'm striking them to help me to forget And everybody at the broken spoke They all thought my crazy story was a joke Now they're all out in the parking lot Staring at the smoke You took the bed; you took the dishes and the car And you broke my trust and you took advantage of my heart And you left me here with empty rooms of walls and holes, scars and scratches Now I found the strength to burn your memory down At least you left the matches. Baby all that's left of our love now is ashes Thank god you left the matches

You found me all alone You helped me build a home I had tried before Couldn't pick myself off of the floor And then you came Whispered my name You found me You found me in a dream Tangled, lost at sea I had tried before Always found myself looking for more But then you came Whispered my name You found me You found me all alone You helped me build a home I had tried before Couldn't pick myself off of the floor And then you came Whispered my name You found me
