Intro
Verse 1
The Casino Doesn't Like When You Run The Tables
And Though The Box Is Wrapped Up Nice, It's Just A Cage To You
Those Electric Fences Buzz
The Stallion Flees The Stable
And That Small Town's Even Smaller Now In Your Rearview
You Ran With All The Wild Things
A Liberated Libertine Who Then Longed For Home
And You Asked Me To Dance
But I Said, "Dancing Is A Dangerous Game"
Oh, I Thought
This Is Gonna Be One Of Those Things
Now I Know
I'm Never Gonna Love Again
Refrain
I've Got Some Tricks Up My Sleeve
Takes One To Know One
You're A Cowboy Like Me
Chorus
'Cause It's Where You're From
Aunt Virginia With Her Church Dress On
No Elbows On The Table
And The Neighbor's Lawn Always Looked Better
Your Hand-Me-Down Sweater Should've Been From The Mall
And You Hate This Song
But You Wake Up On The Train With Your Headphones Gone
Then That Melody Is All You Want
You Never Knew That It Was Babylon
'Til It Was Gone
Verse 2
Give The People What They Want, Then You Keep It Movin'
Make Your Plans And Friends, A Stranger's Makeup On Your Tie
Twenty Watches In The Safe 'Cause Your Time Is Money
Love Is Ice Upon The Ladder That You Need To Climb
Hustling For The Good Life
Never Thought I'd Meet You Here
It Could Be Love
We Could Be The Way Forward
And I Know I'll Pay For It
Chorus
Because She Loved You So
Pretty As A Picture That You Didn't Post
Looking At You Like You're Made Of Solid Gold
Never Official
You Mention You're Single To The Girls At The Bar
You Hate This Song
But You Wake Up On The Train With Your Headphones Gone
Then That Melody Is All You Want
You Never Knew That It Was Babylon
You're A Cowboy Like Me
Perched In The Dark
Telling All The Rich Folks Anything They Wanna Hear
Like It Could Be Love
I Could Be The Way Forward
Only If They Pay For It
Bridge
You're Using Nostalgia As A Weapon To Hurt Yourself
But Darling, You End Up Hurting Everybody Else
And The Skeletons In Both Our Closets
Plotted Hard To Fuck This Up
And The Old Men That I've Swindled
Really Did Believe I Was The One
And The Ladies Lunching Have Their Stories About
When You Passed Through Town
But That Was All Before I Locked It Down
The Self-Harm Of Never Being Where You Are
It's Bedtime, But You're Sitting In Your Car
You're Missin' All The Best Parts
Verse 3
Now You Hang From My Lips
Like The Gardens Of Babylon
With Your Boots Beneath My Bed
Forever Is The Sweetest Con
Chorus
But You Love This Song
You Wake Up On The Train And You're All Alone
Then That Memory Is All You Want
You Never Knew That It Was Babylon
'Til It Was Gone
Outro
And I'm Never Gonna Love Again
I'm Never Gonna Love Again
Ohhhh
Ohhhhhh
I'm Never Gonna Love Again
