Sudden Stop Lyrics by Mark Wills

Mark Wills

1996

[Verse 1]
I got a "Dear John" letter in the mail just the other day
I opened it up and there wasn't much left to say
A bus ticket, plane ticket, train ticket
There's about a hundred ways to leave
It ain't her goodbye, it's her gone that's killin' me

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm here to tell you
If I learned one thing about love
It ain't the fall that gets you
It's the sudden stop that does

[Verse 2]
Well I wasn't gonna take this broken heart laying down
So I jumped up, cranked up
And headed for the lights of town
In a bright red drop-dead tight dress she said
"Honey, come on in"
And head over high heels, here I go again, haha

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm here to tell you
If I learned one thing about love
It ain't the fall that gets you
It's the sudden stop that does
Woo

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
Red light, green light, seat belt real tight
I'm headed straight for the wall
Goin' 90 miles an hour, well, I'm gonna risk it all

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm here to tell you
If I learned one thing about love
It ain't the fall that gets you
It's the sudden stop
It ain't the fall at all
It's that sudden stop
It ain't the fall that gets you
It's the sudden stop, that does
