[Intro]

Da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da

[Verse 1]

She was too young to be the Hollywood type

Too pure to understand the lows and the highs

She didn’t know if she was gonna survive

It all got so much better with time

[Pre-Chorus]

All of the evil eyes

Tequila before sunrise

I’d tell her to watch her back

That she’s worth more than that

[Chorus]

‘Cause she was a girl with good intentions

Yeah, she made some bad decisions

And she learned a couple lessons

Wish I could tell her

She was a girl with good intentions

Didn’t need the second-guessing

Didn’t need to ever question

Wish I could tell her

[Verse 2]

She didn’t know all of the hurt she could take

Her world was crumbling and so was her faith

Wish I could talk to her ’cause what I would say

“Oh baby, you’re enough to get you out of this place”

[Pre-Chorus]

All of the flashing lights

Tequila before sunrise

I’d tell her to watch her back

That she’s worth more than that

[Chorus]

But she was a girl with good intentions

Yeah, she made some bad decisions

And she learned a couple lessons

Wish I could tell her

She was a girl with good intentions

Didn’t need the second-guessing

Didn’t need to ever question

Wish I could tell her

[Post-Chorus]

Da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

I tried to tell her

[Bridge]

(Ah)

I know you’ll get the chance to find who you are

I know you’ll have the choice before it gets too dark

(Ah)

I know you’ll get the chance to find who you are

I know you’ll have the choice

[Chorus]

She was a girl with good intentions

Yeah, she made some bad decisions

And she learned a couple lessons (Hey)

Wish I could tell her

She was a girl with good intentions (Wish I could show you)

Didn’t need the second-guessing (Wish I could show you)

Didn’t need to ever question

Wish I could tell her

[Outro]

Da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da (Wish I could show you)

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da (Wish I could show you, I tried to tell her)

Da, da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da (Wish I could show you)

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da

Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da (Wish I could show you)
