Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] She laughed like trouble in a backroad bar Boots on the table, queen of hearts I was nursing my beer, playing it cool She stole my hat, called me a fool (yeah) [Chorus] She tasted of whiskey and Jolly Rancher Burn and sweet, couldn’t chase her Wild cherry lips, slow disaster Took me too long, too long to catch her By the time I knew I had to have her She was gone like a song in the pasture She tasted of whiskey and Jolly Rancher And it took me too long to catch her [Verse 2] She danced on the tailgate, June in her eyes Singing wrong words, didn’t care who’s right I kept thinking, “boy, don’t blow this chance” But I just watched her spin and laugh [Chorus] She tasted of whiskey and Jolly Rancher Burn and sweet, couldn’t chase her Wild cherry lips, slow disaster Took me too long, too long to catch her By the time I reached out there to grab her She slipped through like smoke and laughter She tasted of whiskey and Jolly Rancher And it took me too long to catch her [Bridge] Now it’s ten p.m. at that same old place Her barstool’s there, just empty space I still taste her name on my tongue sometimes Sugar and fire I let pass me by [Chorus] She tasted of whiskey and Jolly Rancher Burn and sweet, couldn’t chase her Wild cherry lips, slow disaster Took me too long, too long to catch her If I ever see that girl here after I’ll move fast, I’ll move faster ‘Cause she tastes like whiskey and Jolly Rancher And I won’t take too long to catch her (oh no)

country, Modern country ballad with male vocals, bright acoustic guitars and warm fiddle. Verses stay intimate with brushed drums and a steady bass; chorus lifts with stacked harmonies, pedal steel swells, and a bigger kick. Subtle organ pads in the bridge, then a stripped final chorus with just guitar and voice before the full band returns for the last hook.
