Ain’t How It Ends Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
Ain't it a shame, girl, that we had it all almost?
Now, there's no other way, girl, that's just the way love goes
'Cause Waylon, Willie, Jones, and Whitley, they made all the rules
So I'll just have me one more whiskey right here on this stool
[Chorus]
Baby, I could put the bottle down, you could say you wanna come back home
I could leave this bar right now, you could meet me at the door with nothin' on
We can find a way to work this out, aw, but girl, it would feel so wrong
No comin' back 'cause, baby, that ain't how it ends in a country song (Ain't how it ends)
In a country song (Ain't how it ends)
[Verse 2]
You gotta have some taillights, the kind that don't turn around
Aw, baby, it ain't right if we change our minds right now
'Cause Hank and Johnny, Strait and Ronnie Dunn, made all the rules
The girl gets gone, guy ties one on, like he's s'posed to do
[Chorus]
Baby, I could put the bottle down, you could say you wanna come back home
I could leave this bar right now, you could meet me at the door with nothin' on
We can find a way to work this out, aw, but girl, it would feel so wrong
No comin' back 'cause, baby, that ain't how it ends in a country song (Ain't how it ends)
In a country song (Ain't how it ends)
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Baby, I could put the bottle down, you could say you wanna come back home
I could leave this bar right now, you could meet me at the door with nothin' on
We can find a way to work this out, aw, baby, it would feel so wrong
No comin' back, 'cause, baby, that ain't how it ends in a country song (Ain't how it ends)
In a country song (Ain't how it ends)
[Outro]
Ain't how it ends in a country song (Ain't how it ends)
Ain't how it ends in a country song (Ain't how it ends)
In a country song
[Verse 1]
In this section, Post Malone reflects on a past relationship that didn't turn out as hoped, suggesting that the outcome aligns with the conventional narratives of country music. The verse highlights the inevitability of the situation and the acceptance of the reality that some things are simply beyond control, emphasizing a resignation to the way love and relationships often unfold.
[Chorus]
The chorus illustrates the tension between the desire to fix the relationship and the realization that such a resolution would not fit the expected pattern of a country song. The singer acknowledges the possibility of reconciliation but concludes that it would feel disingenuous and contrary to the narrative rules established by classic country artists.
[Verse 2]
This verse expands on the idea that certain elements are necessary for a true country song narrative, such as the finality of separation and the refusal to change one's mind. It reinforces the idea that breaking the rules of these traditional narratives would undermine the authenticity of the story, suggesting that some outcomes are simply predetermined by the genre's conventions.
[Instrumental Break]
The instrumental break serves as a pause to reflect on the sentiments expressed in the song, allowing the listener to absorb the emotional weight of the lyrics before returning to the central theme.
[Chorus]
The repeated chorus reinforces the central theme of accepting the predetermined nature of the ending, emphasizing the tension between personal desires and genre expectations. It underscores the singer's acknowledgment that some endings are simply not meant to fit the idealized resolutions.
[Outro]
The outro reiterates the song's core message, emphasizing that the conclusion of the story remains true to the conventions of country music. It reinforces the idea that the ending is inescapable and reflective of the genre's traditional narratives.
