[Verse 1] I've got 50 milliliters of Fireball Whiskey In the bottom of my bag where you asked me to keep it I've been doing some thinking 'bout this past weekend And the 7:30 drive from where I left you sleeping, baby How you took my hand and said, "Hey, I need someone Would you be my someone tonight?" Held me tight, said, "this feels right. Sometimes things just do You said, "shit. One day, I could marry you."" [Chorus] American spirits and the fathers who leave 'em Spend their life looking for all the missing pieces Catching girls like me, they think they've found it In the morning they're gone 'cause we're not what they needed And we'll never be Oh oh, we'll never be Oh, I'll never be But I'm still falling [Verse 2] I'm flashing back to meeting your mother You were so hurt and she couldn't make it better You screamed and she yelled 'til it all came out So much love no one's figure out So I held you So somebody had you And i still got you [Chorus] American spirits and the fathers who leave 'em Spend their life looking for all the missing pieces Catching girls like me, they think they've found it In the morning they're gone 'cause we're not what they needed And we'll never be Oh oh, we'll never be Oh, I'll never be But I'm still falling [Bridge] You got the name of a girl Tattooed on your neck I wonder what's she's like, does she love you well? I was thinking 'bout your funeral And how we'll all have one Would it be strange if I came? Since none of your friends know my name? [Chorus] American spirits and the fathers who leave 'em Spend their life looking for all the missing pieces Catching girls like me, they think they've found it In the morning they're gone 'cause we're not what they needed And we'll never be Oh oh, we'll never be Oh, I'll never be But I'm still falling I'm still falling I'm still falling Woah Oh Oh
