Did It For the Story

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
