Sittin' on the front step

Little white suitcase

Hearing that diesel

'fore it hit the front gate

His headlights burnin' down a friday night.

Southern belle statue

Standing in the screen door

Watching her whole world

Head for an old four

With a man that can't look her in the eye.

So I run, to him

Big hug, jump in

And I cry for her

Out the window.

Some mommas and daddies

Are loving in a straight line

Take forever to heart

And take a long sweet ride

But some mommas and daddies

Let their heart strings tear and tangle

And some of us get stuck

In a love triangle.

Bowling alley burger

Fries and a milkshake

Heading to the same old

Two-dollar matinee

'baby, how's your school been,

And how's your mom?'

Patsy cline echoes

Back off the dashboard

Staring at my boots

And the dusty old floorboards

Baby, two weeks ain't really all that long.

So I run, to her

Wrap my arms, around her skirt

And I cry for him

Out the window.

Some mommas and daddies

Are loving in a straight line

Take forever to heart

And take a long sweet ride

But some mommas and daddies

Let their heart strings tear and tangle

And some of us get stuck

In a love triangle.

Oooooh... [x2]

In a love triangle.

Oooooh... [x2]

Some mommas and daddies

Are loving in a straight line

Take forever to heart

And take a long sweet ride

But some mommas and daddies

Let their heart strings tear and tangle, oh...

And some mommas and daddies

Ran outta love in '94

And some mommas and daddies

Don't even talk no more

And some mommas and daddies

Let their heart strings tear and tangle.

And some of us get stuck

And some of us grow up

In a love triangle.
