Hopes Crashin' Down

Verse

I saw her dancin' in that honky-tonk light

Sippin' on whiskey, laughin' all night

Her smile hit me harder than a tailpipe rumble

Thought this could be it, yeah, my heart started tumblin'

Picked her up in my old Ford on Friday

Drove down backroads, feelin' like we had it made

Talked 'bout forever under them stars so bright

Built my castle high, thought we'd make it right

Chorus

I got my hopes up, way up to the sky

Dreamin' of your kiss, baby, you and I

But you turned 'em to dust with a cold goodbye

Hopes up high, now they're crashin' down

Crashin' down, yeah, hittin' the ground

Oh, my hopes, they failed me again

Verse

We'd spin records on the porch swing slow

Your hand in mine, made my whole world glow

Planned our getaway to some beach down south

But you packed your bags, left me with your doubts

Found lipstick stains on your favorite shirt

Texts from some fool, yeah, that was the hurt

I replayed our promises like a worn-out tape

Now I'm just a fool with a broke-down heart to escape

Chorus

I got my hopes up, way up to the sky

Dreamin' of your kiss, baby, you and I

But you turned 'em to dust with a cold goodbye

Hopes up high, now they're crashin' down

Crashin' down, yeah, hittin' the ground

Oh, my hopes, they failed me again

Bridge

Now I'm nursin' this bottle, chasin' away the pain

Writin' your name in the dirt, watchin' it wash in the rain

Shoulda known better, love's just a lonesome game

Yeah, fool me once, but damn, it hurts the same

Chorus

I got my hopes up, way up to the sky (way up high)

Dreamin' of your kiss, baby, you and I

But you turned 'em to dust with a cold goodbye

Hopes up high, now they're crashin' down

Crashin' down, yeah, hittin' the ground (hittin' the ground)

Oh, my hopes, they failed me again

Outro

Yeah, they failed me again...

Crashin' down... (oh yeah)
