Ain’t That the Way It Always Ends Lyrics by Tim McGraw

Tim McGraw Collector’s Edition: Volume #2

1997

[Verse 1]
Johnny came home broken-hearted
Said he lost his girl
He bottled up all the hurt in his heart
Punched a hole in the wall of his world
Now, Betty, she was a blonde-haired beauty
With an eye for a man who could spend
She stole his heart in a pickup truck
And drove off in a Mercedes Benz
[Chorus]
And he said, "Oh, and she looked so innocent
Talkin' about bein' just friends"
Oh, and it don't make a bit of sense
Ain't that the way that it always ends
[Verse 2]
Karen she had a long time dream
And only one man in her life
He kept her waitin' but she didn't care
'Cause he promised he'd make her his wife
Now, Billy, he had a good thing goin'
But he let it go to his head
He got careless and late one night
She caught them both in her bed
[Chorus]
And she said, "Oh, and he looked so innocent
Talkin' about bein' just friends"
Oh, and it don't make a bit of sense
Ain't that the way that it always ends
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Oh, it always looks so innocent
Talkin' about bein' just friends
Oh, and it don't make a bit of sense
Ain't that the way that it always ends
[Outro]
Ain't that the way it always ends
Ain't that the way it always ends
