 Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

It's not that I never did tell you
It's more that you should have just known
But once you break it, you've bought it
And once you've bought it, it's breakable

In town, at the bar, there's a calendar
From 1933
It's been hanging there for decades
Since sobriety lost to reality

Sometimes, I sit in the corner
And invent stories, and all of them crimes
Of pretty girls kidnapped by radicals
Who'd fall in love with them after a time

Well, it's not that I never did tell you
It's more that you should have just known
Once you break it you bought it
And once you've bought it, it's breakable
Once you've bought it, it's breakable

At the edge of town where the streetlights drown
And the highway melts into the dark
Built me a shack with a porch out the back
Where I sit and shoot bottles like question marks

Sometimes you wonder at yourself
And how it is you're still alive
And done all them things you never thought
Like kissing ass and calling it compromise

In town, at the bar, there's an exit
That leads back to something before
Pretty girls were kidnapped by radicals
That took from them all that they stood for

It's not that I never did tell you
It's more that you never did know
That once you break it, you've bought it
And once you've bought it, it's breakable
Yeah, once you've bought it, it's breakable
Yeah, once you've bought it, it's breakable
Yeah, once you've bought it, it's breakable
Yeah
