Nice Guys Finish Last (Country)

Song Description

This tongue-in-cheek country song features a driving train beat and a classic Nashville vibe. It's a humorous little break-up tune about the point reached when "enough is enough", and when one receives heartache in exchange for love.

Lyrics

I should've hurt you
I should've lied
I should've stayed out
While you stayed home & cried
I was a fool to love you
Now it's all in the past
Nice guys finish last

When I stepped outside the honky-tonk it shot me in the heart
As I saw you two in the back seat of his car
You say he's just a friend, but friends don't touch that way
I should've seen it comin' but now it's just too late

I should've hurt you
I should've lied
I should've stayed out
While you stayed home & cried
I was a fool to love you
Now it's all in the past
Nice guys finish last

Well I had fun baby, thanks for the ride
But you've had one too many test drives
You think we're connected, but I'll show you we're not
This looks like your exit; here's where you get off

I should've hurt you
I should've lied
I should've stayed out
While you stayed home & cried
I was a fool to love you
Now it's all in the past
Nice guys finish last
