🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Carved my name into his leather seats
  • I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights
  • I slashed a hole in all four tires
  • Maybe next time he'll think before he cheats

Sing the opening verse

  • Right now, he's probably slow dancin'
  • With a bleached-blond tramp and she's probably gettin' frisky
  • Right now, he's probably buyin' her some fruity little drink
  • 'Cause she can't shoot whiskey
probablyrighthe's
