Bad Timing County

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Met her by the coolers She laughed at my line We were two slow dances And the stars lined up fine Then my cousin yelled, “Brother! You gotta see this now” Turns out Uncle Ray Locked his truck on a cow She looked at me like “Well, that’s your whole fate” I said, “Give me one minute” But it was too late My phone lit up blue With a “where you at?” from my ex And a preacher at the counter Said, “Son, this is a test” [Pre-Chorus] I swear I get close Then the whole room swerves Somebody’s got a problem And I’m losing my nerves [Chorus] Bad timing, bad timing That’s my love song, honey Bad timing, bad timing Keeps taking my money Just when I get a yes Here comes a mess Bad timing, bad timing Yeah, it does its best [Verse 2] I slipped out back for a smoke Just to clear my head But the sober folks found me Like a deer in the shed One said, “You need healing” One said, “You need truth” One said, “You need to quit That dang shirt from ’92” Then my mama called Said, “Boy, don’t come home late” Your aunt lost her bingo card And it’s a family debate I turned around to the door And there she was again Smiling through the screen Like, “So who’s your friend?” [Pre-Chorus] I swear I get close Then the whole room swerves Somebody’s got a problem And I’m losing my nerves [Chorus] Bad timing, bad timing That’s my love song, honey Bad timing, bad timing Keeps taking my money Just when I get a yes Here comes a mess Bad timing, bad timing Yeah, it does its best [Bridge] I had a whole good night Planned out in my mind But my life keeps crashing Right on dinner time If I ever get a chance I’ll need a guard dog too ’Cause every single person Wants a piece of my news [Final Chorus] Bad timing, bad timing That’s my love song, honey Bad timing, bad timing Keeps taking my money Just when I get a yes Here comes a mess Bad timing, bad timing Yeah, it does its best Bad timing, bad timing If you see a clean shot Keep it quiet, keep it kind And don’t call my brother up for my spot
