"MESSED ME UP" lyrics

I showed up messed up like Hemingway
Cans falling out your mama's drive
Stumbled outta my beat-up Chevrolet
Heart-broke tears in your eyes
You were already gone
And I was already drunk

But you messed me up, downhill, full throttle
You messed me up, I lost my mind
If it wasn't enough, goodbye was rock bottom
The man I was wasn't gonna survive
You messed me up

Yeah, you messed me up

Well, it didn't take taillights and a U-Haul
I knew what I had before it was gone
Yeah, all of my boys said it was all your fault
But I knew you were right and I knew I was wrong

And it messed me up, downhill, full throttle
You messed me up, I lost my mind
If it wasn't enough, goodbye was rock bottom
The man I was wasn't gonna survive
You messed me up
Right back to the drawing board
Sobered up and I finally saw the Lord
If I thought putting down the bottle was tough
Coming down off your love, it messed me up

You messed me up

Yeah, I thank God
You messed me up, you saved my life
I found my knees, you became my wife
Gave me three little angels, made me better
And I wouldn't be here if you never messed me up
You messed me up

You messed me up
You saved my life
I sobered up
And I saw the light dressed in white
It messed me up
And took my breath
Give me your love
Or give me death
You messed me up
