It was 3:02 AM and I'd been drinking
Just a man doing too much thinking
Well I'll make this short and try to be real clear
Just thinking of us and grinding the gears

Why'd it have to end like that
Why'd it have to go so fast
Yah my heart was heavy and on the gas
Why'd it have to end like that

That 89 Chevy done us pretty good over the years
From the back roads and hunting deer
Yeah I seen that picture of us up on the dash
In my rearview was our past

Why'd it have to end like that
Why'd it have to go so fast
Yeah my heart was heavy and on the gas
Why'd it have to end like that

Yeah my memory was missing you
I guess you and him had better things to do
And I'll never stop loving you baby
I'll never stop loving you

Why'd it have to end like that
Why'd have to go so fast
Yeah my heart was heavy but now it's off the gas
Why'd have to end like that

Why'd it have to end like that
Why'd it have to end like that"
