Can't Look Away

Lyrics

There's a sweet little farmhouse in Virginia
 Full of guns and ammunition
 In the driveway there's some pickup trucks
 With Shotgun racks and camouflage paint
 Down the path to the river
 There's some good ol boys
 Just drinkin and fishin
 And when the shit hits the fan
 You know just who to call
 Or who to blame
 And You can try
 You can try
 But you can't look away
 You can't look away
 You can't look away
 You can try
 But you can't look away
 She steps out of the bathtub
 Barely covers up with a towel
 And gets the front door
 Yeah it's a college boy
 From up the street
 There to cut the grass
 When her husband's away
 And the neighbors they peek through the blinds
 Cause they know her man is overseas
 Lost in the War
 She fixes her hair up
 Let's the boy inside
 For Lemonade
 Yeah, You can try
 And You can try
 But you can't look away
 Yeah, You can't look away
 You can't look away
 You can try
 But you can't look away
 Yeah and it's a colorful sight
 It's got the dark and the light
 It's never just black and white
 Even gray
 You can't look away
 There's a sweet little girl with a folded up flag
 On the foot of her bed
 Red White and Blue turns to black suits and dresses
 And headlights in the rain
 She doesn't notice the headstone
 And the white bouquets and the leftover last respects
 Just a one purple wildflower coming up
 From the dirt on the grave
 It's a colorful sight
 It's got the dark and the light
 It's never just black and white
 And even Grey
 And You can't look away
 You can't look away
 You can't look away
 You can try
 But you can't look away
 Well you can't look away
 You can't look away
 You can't look away
 You can try
 But you can't look away
 You can try
 But you can't look away
 You can try
 But you can't look away
 Try But you can't look away
 Try But you can't look away
