"Star Spangled" lyrics

"Star Spangled"

You like your women like your candy
I like my men on silver screens
My profession is a sour starlet
I'm either that or nothing

You've got a confidence that drives me crazy
You think you're better than the best
Called shotgun in your Chevy and my head is getting heavy
Pump the pedal to the coast out in the West

I know that you miss me maybe one day
You won't have to reach me, begging, baby please come home
You're all I know

But I'm down in Georgia sippin' Coke in cars you can't afford
You broke my locks, I'll break your heart
Now that we're apart

Red white and blue on my evening dress
Drag me to the diner, ask a question, make me guess
Can't shake the feeling from the fire in your eyes
Now summer's always special, take me back to when I cut ties

You like your whiskey when you're drowning
And I'm the honey from the rock
You've got a bitterness that bites me back
Your number's one I'd like to block

You've caught an ego death that can't be cured
Your shame is something I don't share
I'm burning up your bail 'cause you're fighting tooth and nail
Tryna tell me you're the only one who cared

I know that you miss me maybe one day
You won't have to reach me, begging baby please come home
You're all I know

But I'm down in Georgia sippin' Coke in cars you can't afford
You broke my locks, I'll break your heart
Now that we're apart

Red, white and blue on my evening dress
Drag me to the diner, ask a question, make me guess
Can't shake the feeling from the fire in your eyes
Now summer's always special, take me back to when I cut ties

He broke my heart, you broke my life
When I was low you steered my strife
And I believed you, I think that's what hurt's the most

So somewhere, someday, time and place
I'll forgive your force, you'll forget my face
And maybe I'll find peace within your ghost

Red white and blue on my fading flag
My anthem's got a purpose and it's made me wanna brag
Can't shake the shock I liked your volume not your voice
Thought you were being forced, turns out you always had a choice
