Lady Antebellum - Careful What You Wish For

Jenny left the gun on the floor near the body
Waited till the blue lights flashed in the drive way
Put a little lipstick on 'fore the cops came in
Alabama girl with a grudge was the headline
Judge said "I'm puttin' her away for a long time"
She's a household name when the child begins
No one even noticed her sister leavin' town
She was west of Texas
By the time that the gavel came down

Be careful what you wish for
You might get more than you ever wanted
Jenny wanted fame but she took the blame instead
The last thing she said before they slammed that big steel door
"Be careful what you wish for"

Jenny used to write every night in her diary
"Some day I'm gonna sing on the Opery
Or be a movie star up on the silver screen"
Her sister fell in love like a fool with the wrong guy
Show up at her door with a bruise or a black eye
Too weak to fight, too scared to leave
Jenny got a phone call the night that hell broke lose
She stepped inside the front door
"little sister what did you do?" Be careful what you wish for
You might get more than you ever wanted
Jenny wanted fame but she took the blame instead
The last thing she said before they slammed that big steel door
"Be careful what you wish for"

"Nobody saw you, I'll take the fall for you
You'll get your freedom
And I guess
Finally everybody's gonna know my name"

Be careful what you wish for
Cuz you might get more than you ever wanted
Jenny wanted fame but she took the blame instead
The last thing she said before they slammed that big steel door
"Be careful what you wish for"
Be careful what you wish for

Jenny left the gun on the floor near the body
Waited till the blue lights flashed in the drive way
Put a little lipstick on 'fore the cops came in
