jimmy ray mcgee

used to lean on his old corvette

light up a cigarette

and ask

why i hadn't loved him yet

jimmy ray mcgee was the first-string quarterback

a real player and that's a fact

but i wasn't having none of that

can't remember all the times on a saturday night on my parents couch

had the house to ourselves sittin' through a movie and making out

he said

i had something that he couldn't live without it

and i can't say

i didn't think about it

jimmy ray mcgee asked me to the senior prom

but i went on another boy's arm

heard he made someone else a mom

oh

jimmy ray mcgee disappeared from our hometown

another daddy out running around

doing everything but settling down

oh

yeah

when i was seventeen thought

i thought too much 'bout the choices i made

from the clothes i wore

to the friends i picked

to the boys i'd date

i guess in the end it was worth all the worry

though it hurts to wait

it can hurt worse to hurry

jimmy ray mcgee used to lean on his old corvette

light up a cigarette

and ask

why i hadn't loved him yet
