First Place

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Of all the ways it could've gone this is the worst case She didn't even pack a suitcase Just a change of clothes in a backpack No give a damn left, no lookin' back She'll get as far as she can go on a tank of gas She ain't wastin' time on a second chance She's about as gone as a girl can get (Get) [Chorus] I should've seen it comin' maybe Then I wouldn't have to see her runnin' Out the door in the pourin' rain Should've given her a reason Not to ever think of leavin' Now a "Baby, I'm sorry" is just a little too late I should've been hell bent On makin' her wanna stay I should've never put her second in the first place Should've never put her second in the first place [Verse 2] If I hadn't put us in a bad position, yeah It might've been a little different Didn't have to end, wouldn't have to try again But that's lookin' back with 20/20 vision [Chorus] I should've seen it comin' maybe Then I wouldn't have to see her runnin' Out the door in the pourin' rain Should've given her a reason Not to ever think of leavin' Now a "Baby, I'm sorry" is just a little too late I should've been hell bent On makin' her wanna stay I should've never put her second in the first place Should've never put her second in the first place [Post-Chorus] No [Bridge] She'll get as far as she can go on a tank of gas And I'm the only one livin' in the past Lookin' at an empty glass [Chorus] I should've seen it comin' maybe Then I wouldn't have to see her runnin' Out the door in the pourin' rain Should've given her a reason Not to ever think of leavin' Now a "Baby, I'm sorry" is just a little too late I should've been hell bent On makin' her wanna stay I should've never put her second in the first place Should've never put her second in the first place I should've been hell bent On makin' her wanna stay I should've never put her second in the first place Should've never put her second in the first place No, no [Outro] Should've never put her second in the first place I should've never put her second in the first place
