Bad By Design Lyrics by Riley Thomas

2024

[Verse 1]
Like tumbleweeds and pirates
I'm no stranger to the wind
Know I’m going somewhere
But not if I'll be back again
It's good to see you smile
But it’s hard to watch you cry
So if I leave here tomorrow
Ain't that I don't love you tonight
[Chorus]
I think God was playin' Waylon
When he was making me
Spun the dust into one more cowboy
While he poured himself a drink
Bet his heart was probably aching
When he gave me mine
That's why all that I was made for
Was good whiskey and goodbye
Baby I'm bad, by design
Baby I'm bad, by design
[Verse 2]
Like left lanes and hurricanes
It's hard to feel at home
Gotta make your peace with guilt
When you’re built for moving on
So love me like I’m leaving
Baby kiss me like I'm gone
And hold me like a memory
While we dance to one more song
I think God was playin’ Waylon
When he was making me
Spun the dust into one more cowboy
While he poured himself a drink
Bet his heart was probably aching
When he gave me mine
That's why all that I was made for
Was good whiskey and goodbye
Baby I'm bad, by design
Baby I'm bad, by design
I think God was playin’ Waylon
When he was making me
Spun the dust into one more cowboy
While he poured himself a drink
Bet his heart was probably aching
When he gave me mine
That's why all that I was made for
Was good whiskey and goodbye
Baby I'm bad, by design
Baby I'm bad, by design
