Perfect Disaster

So lately my co-writer and I have been working on kind of a nostalgic tune. That song has been remarkably difficult, which makes no sense because it's a simple concept. In order to kick-start the creative juices, I decided to break away and write something completely random and off the wall. So I was sitting there thinking about what I could write about. Obviously, I'm not going to write a love song. I wasn't really in the mood to write a drinking song. I'm tired of the leaving songs. And I'm trying to save all my Bro-Co (Bro-country) ideas for co-writing sessions. Well, the girls at work have been giving me "advice" about various men, and trying to hook me up. My response is usually "bad idea". So I was thinking "what if he's a bad idea but she just doesn't care that it will be a disaster? He's just so perfect that she can't say no". So I wrote "Perfect Disaster" ... and re-wrote it... and re-wrote it... and re-wrote it. This is what I have so far, and there's a good chance it will change when I start polishing the music.

You're a regret waiting to happen

The definition of bad news

A lead foot on a dead end road

Stick of dynamite with a short fuse

More than likely, you'll leave me broken

Without a second thought

Like a mustang, saddled and ready

Waitin' to buck me off

I should fly like a bat outta hell

Before my heart is shattered

Over and over I tell myself

I know better, but that don't matter

‘Tween the whiskey and your smile

Keep fallin' faster and faster

Baby tonight, you look like a

Perfect Disaster

Tell me what I wanna hear

Then lead me out on the floor

I'll ignore all the signs and

Brace for the storm

Burn me up in your wild fire

I'll help you fan the flame

Strike me down with a lightnin' bolt

Turn me over like a tidal wave

I should fly like a bat outta hell

Before my heart is shattered

Over and over I tell myself

I know better, but that don't matter

‘Tween the whiskey and your smile

Keep fallin' faster and faster

Baby tonight, you look like a

Perfect Disaster

Let you seal my fate with

A crown flavored kiss

Even though I can taste the danger

You might be worth the risk

I should fly like a bat outta hell

Before my heart is shattered

Over and over I tell myself

I know better, but that don't matter

‘Tween the whiskey and your smile

Keep fallin' faster and faster

Baby tonight, you look like a

Perfect Disaster
