[Verse 1]
I crawl out of bed
Tryin' not to wake you
Slip into a robe
And out the front door
My whole body's shakin'
But not from the cold
I make myself coffee
To have somethin' to hold

[Chorus]
Our love took a nosedive
In New Orleans
And we spun out so fast
I floated off of my feet
The tears I cried
On the drive to Amarillo
I shouldn't have wasted on you
No, I shouldn't have wasted on you

[Verse 2]
We drove across Texas
In a cold winter storm
The silence was deafening
I couldn't keep warm
And then out of nowhere
A crow hit the glass
And it died on my windshield
I cried and you laughed

[Chorus]
Our love took a nosedive
In New Orleans
And we spun out so fast
I floated off of my feet
The tears I cried
On the drive to Amarillo
I shouldn't have wasted on you
Oh, I shouldn't have wasted on you

[Verse 3]
We find a motel
That's right off the road
Lie awake in the darkness
And the piling snow
And somehow you sleep well
Somehow you cope
While I'm burnin' beside you
Turnin' into smoke
[Chorus]
Our love took a nosedive
In New Orleans
And we spun out so fast
I floated off of my feet
The tears I cried
On the drive to Amarillo
I shouldn't have wasted on you
No, I shouldn't have wasted on you
No, I shouldn't have wasted on you
