Cooper

Lyrics

I saw Cooper leaning on a Chevrolet, Sunset burning on the end of the day, That faded cap and them boots worn thin, Lord knows where a girl like me begins. Everybody talks when he comes around, Like he’s king of every little country town, And I swore I’d never fall that fast, But there goes another promise in the past. He’s got that look that oughta come with a warning sign, A little bit of trouble and a real good time. Cooper’s got me spinning like a gravel road curve, Making me forget every lesson I’ve learned, That slow smile hits like Tennessee whiskey, One look and he’s making it hard to resist him. Yeah, I oughta know better, but I don’t even try, When he’s looking at me underneath those neon lights, He’s a small-town heartbreak waiting to happen, And I’m running straight at it with a laugh and a grin. Friday night crowd and a live band playing, Everybody dancing, but my heart ain’t staying, It’s somewhere over by the barstool seat, Watching Cooper tap his boots to the beat. The girls all notice when he walks in the door, And I can see exactly what they’re looking for, But when he pulls me close and says my name, The whole room disappears just the same. He’s got that look that oughta come with a warning sign, A little bit of trouble and a real good time. Cooper’s got me spinning like a gravel road curve, Making me forget every lesson I’ve learned, That slow smile hits like Tennessee whiskey, One look and he’s making it hard to resist him. Yeah, I oughta know better, but I don’t even try, When he’s looking at me underneath those neon lights, He’s a small-town heartbreak waiting to happen, And I’m running straight at it with a laugh and a grin. Maybe he’s trouble, maybe I’m worse, Maybe we’re writing our names in the dirt, Maybe tomorrow I’ll come to my senses, But tonight I ain’t building no fences. Cooper’s got me spinning like a gravel road curve, Making me forget every lesson I’ve learned, That slow smile hits like Tennessee whiskey, One look and he’s making it hard to resist him. Yeah, the stars are shining and the band plays on, And I hope this feeling takes all night long, He’s a small-town heartbreak waiting to happen, And I don’t mind if that’s exactly what happens.
