Never Change
Unraveling Love's Wild Journey: Never Change by Alex Arthur
Lyrics
When the sun goes down we're sippin seven doing twenty over, rollin down that old two lane
Evening activities involve driving fast (twenty over the speed limit) while sipping on a drink in a classic Chevy on an old two-lane road.
Out here rollin high in the cat eye Chevy bumpin hank girl you just can't wait
Being out and about in a Chevrolet with distinctive headlights, playing music loudly and eagerly anticipating something.
To call me so we're fighting on my drunk drive home so you can tell me that you hate me and we're better off alone
A conflict-filled conversation during a drunk drive home, with the suggestion that the relationship is better off ending.
It's obvious you're bluffin through the cigarette smoke cause lonely ain't ever been your thing
The person is pretending or faking contentment through a haze of cigarette smoke, as loneliness doesn't suit them.
You knew what it was before you fell in love, you kept quiet cause you knew I'd run away
The partner knew what they were getting into before falling in love, choosing silence to prevent the singer from leaving.
I'm not that boy from church, keep sayin I'm the worst, but baby you're the one to blame
The singer rejects the image of being a good boy from church and places blame on the partner for the relationship issues.
I told you from the start I'd go and break your heart but no matter what you said you'd be ok
Despite warning of breaking hearts from the beginning, the partner assured they would be okay no matter what.
Save your breath cause I ain't ever gonna change

You try and take me home so I can meet your momma but I'm wild and I can't be tamed

Textin me to tell me that your daddy's hatin, got a soul that the lord can't save
Text messages indicate disapproval from the partner's father, and a suggestion that the singer's soul is beyond salvation.
You knew what it was before you fell in love, you kept quiet cause you knew I'd run away
Similar to line 5, reiterating that the partner knew the challenges of the relationship but chose to remain silent.
I'm not that boy from church, keep sayin I'm the worst, but baby you're the one to blame
