Song Description

FALLING IN LOVE WITH A GIRL WHOS OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You saw her walkin' in with high heels and high class
A runway queen in a world movin' fast
You flashed that grin, leaned on your old Ford
Like a small-town cowboy she couldn't ignore
But she laughed it off, said "you're kinda sweet"
Then spun you like tires on a dead-end street


---

[Chorus]
You're just spinnin' your wheels, burnin' up pride
Chasin' a girl who won't be by your side
Tryin' to look smooth, tryin' to be tough
But she's champagne, and you're red solo cup
She's outta your league, boy, that's the deal
We all told you -- you're just spinnin' your wheels


---

[Verse 2]
You bought new boots and a brand-new shirt
Cut your hair, even sprayed on cologne first
She smiled at you, but not for long
She was dancin' out the door before the next song
Now you're back at the bar, tellin' tall tales
While your buddies just laugh and say, "Bro, that ship has sailed"


---

[Chorus]
You're just spinnin' your wheels, diggin' in deep
Dreamin' of her while you lose sleep
Tryin' to climb a hill with no grip
Hangin' on tight to a losin' trip
She's outta your league, and that's just real
Face it, son -- you're just spinnin' your wheels


---

[Bridge]
She's high fashion, you're backwoods style
She's uptown crazy, you're dirt road wild
Ain't nothin' wrong with shootin' your shot
But some girls don't want what you got


---

[Final Chorus / Outro]
You're just spinnin' your wheels, kickin' up smoke
Talkin' like you still got a chance -- what a joke
She's long gone in some city high-rise
While you're still dreamin' in county-line skies
Yeah we love you, but here's the deal...
You're just spinnin' your wheels
