Jason Isbell - Racetrack Romeo lyrics

Your sister like to go to the drive-in movie
Your sister liked to listen to the radio
I used to think that she got
Off on the things I hated
She used to call me a Racetrack Romeo

'Course she wanted to know you better
I think she knew that it was her own fault
She didn't do it just to make you suffer
I think she did it just to piss me off

So merciless so merciless she was
So merciless

There's nothin' I could say that
Would make this better
There's nothin' I could do that
Could make this worse no, she didn't leave a
Note underneath my pillow
No, I didn't find an answer in her purse

Yeah I guess I shoulda seen it coming
It makes me wish I could've done it myself
After this, I'll prob'ly keep on running
There's a couple miles of highway left

So merciless so merciless we are
So merciless

Why do people always knock so loud?
Why does everybody seem so lonely?
She would say that I should watch the crowd
Never focus on the faces only

Yeah I guess I should've seen it coming
She was givin' me the wrong advice

With the windows up it sounds real nice

So merciless so merciless we are
So merciless so merciless we are
So merciless so merciless we are
So merciless
