Best Policy

Everything was good till it wasn’t no more

’n we should’ve called it off ‘fore we went to war

Slamming bedroom doors

So I won’t mention dishes thrown at my head

If you don’t bring up tire tracks that I left

In your pretty rose beds

Knocking your knockouts dead

We ain’t proud how we kicked and we cussed

So when people start askin’ what happened to us

Honesty…Ain’t the best policy

Not when it comes to the two us

And how ugly our break up was

Girl, it won’t hurt a thing

To say it just wasn’t meant to be

And we’ll still be friends

We’d prob’ly go back and do it again

That ain’t true, but honestly

Honesty…Ain’t the best policy

Let’s tell a good good good good lie

That we had a good good good goodbye

That’s right…

We know what’ll happen if the truth comes out

And our names get drug through the mud of this town

There ain’t no doubt

No guy with good sense would date you at all

Only drama crazy ladies would take my calls

This county’s too small

And you know how it talks

Naw, we ain’t proud how we kicked and we cussed

So when people start asking what happened to us

CHORUS

POST-CHORUS

There’s room for us both under that bus

So when people keep asking what happened to us

Thanks Renee

Great song loved it.

Stand out line:

"There’s room for us both under that bus"

Excellent story in the lyrics, nice and pacey.

Another gem probably gathering dust in favour of Nashville mediocrity.

Nice! I like it. A different sort of break up song. And the upbeat music is a good match to this lyric.
