I Thought the Wreck Was Over Lyrics


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 againLivin' with her liked to kill me
Livin' without her might as well
At first I thought I'd died and gone to heaven
In fact I had lived and gone to hellI 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 againThey'll tell you to expect the unexpected
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 didI thought I was movin' fast and gettin' stronger
I thought the coast was clearer
'Til I looked in the mirror
And saw a set of skid marks gettin' longerI 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 againI thought the storm had passed, I was safe at last
I thought the wreck was over
But here she comes again
I thought the wreck was over
