Jackknifed

Was a blue-eyed mustang from New Orleans
Faster than a wild wide open breeze
That makes you fall so hard
That you lose control
Not knowing that the ride came with a hefty toll
Oh I should have seen him coming from a mile away
But I was trapped so deep
My heart decided to cave
Never thought I’d be a victim of a cheating mans charm,
But I was tangled in his lies like a ball of yarn
When he leaned in close,
To make his move
I wish I had the strength to let him loose

Chorus:
No, I didn’t want this head-on collision
But it must have been the view that clouded my vision
Before I knew it, he was moving fast
I wish I’d jackknifed these feelings before they ever began

We headed to the drive-in that Friday Night
We were watching all the previews underneath the lights
Just then some girl walked up to the side of his car
And yelled so this is why you didn’t meet me at the bar
I could tell she was bound to be indiscreet,
So I squirmed a little further down into my seat

Chorus:
No, I didn’t want this head-on collision
But it must have been the view that clouded my vision
Before I knew it, he was thinking fast
I wish I’d jackknifed these feelings before they ever began



Bridge:
With a cool disposition,
He got out of his ride,
Thinking he could settle the feud
He said this thing between us isn’t gonna work out
And boy she wasn’t amused

Chorus:
No, I didn’t want this head-on collision
But it must have been the view that clouded my vision
Before I knew it he was running fast
I wish I’d jackknifed these feelings before they ever began
I wish I’d jackknifed these feelings before they ever began
