The Flatlanders - I Thought the Wreck Was OverLyrics

[Chorus] I thought the wreck was over I thought the fire was out I thought the storm had passed And I was safe at last I thought the wreck was over But here she comes again Livin' with her liked t'killed me Living without her might as well At first I thought I'd died and gone to heaven In fact I had lived and gone to hell [Chorus] They'll tell you to expect the unexpected But nobody ever tells you where it's hid I can't tell you how many times she left me I lost count the very first time that she did I thought I was movin' fast and gettin' stronger I thought the coast was clearer 'Till I looked into the mirror And saw a set of skid marks gettin' longer [Chorus]
