Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They put the pen to paper
With a little whiskey and wine
She loved his sense of humor
He loved the way that she smiled
Knew she was gone tomorrow
She knew that he couldn't stay
But they were here today
[PreChorus]
Yeah, but they both knew
Forever wasn't in the cards that they drew
They danced around a wasted I-love-you
They had a feeling it would never come true
[Chorus]
They just did it for the story
Did it for the night
They did it for the feelings that they didn't wanna fight
Went down in a blaze of glory
They wouldn't trade the flames
They made a bunch of memories and they made up both the names
They just did it for the story
Did it for the only reason on their minds
And now it's on their minds all the time
[Verse 2]
And when they left the bar, didn't make it very far, yeah
They wound up 'round the corner somewhere underneath the stars
No, it didn't take em' long
For they were good and gone
Yeah, they made a little love to a couple country songs
[PreChorus]
Hey, but they both knew
Forever wasn't in the cards that they drew
They danced around a faded I-love-you
And they had a feeling it would never come true
[Chorus]
They just did it for the story
Did it for the night
They did it for the feelings that they didn't wanna fight
Went down in a blaze of glory
They wouldn't trade the flames
They made a bunch of memories and they made up both the names
They just did it for the story
Did it for the only reason on their minds
And now it's on their minds all the time
[Chorus]
They just did it for the story
Did it for the night
They did it for the feelings that they didn't wanna fight
Went down in a blaze of glory
They wouldn't trade the flames
They made a bunch of memories and they made up both the names
They just did it for the story
Did it for the only reason on their minds
And now it's on their minds all the time
