Pure Western's first duet and it's a masterclass in mutual accountability — she fires the opening salvo about the truck and the furniture and the dog's tail finding the TV stand, and he comes right back with the nine dollar coffees and seventeen moisturizers. Nobody wins. Nobody loses. They end up in the same foxhole laughing at the wreckage they built together. Conway and Loretta would approve of every single word. - Original by Saddle Storms.

[Verse 1]

We could own a house by now

But you just had to have that truck

Lifted four wheel drive and custom chrome

Baby that was all our luck

We could have real furniture

Something that don't fold or lean

But you insisted we have children

Now nothing stays nice or clean

[Chorus — Female Vocal]

You're the reason we can't have nice things

Bless your heart you really are

Between the kids the dog the truck payments

Baby we ain't getting far

Sweet Jesus look around us honey

Does any of this look fine

You're the reason we can't have nice things

But Lord I'm glad you're mine

[Verse 2]

The TV had a warranty

Until the dog's tail found the stand

Wagging like he's proud of something

Glass and remotes across the land

We could have a nice vacation

Somewhere warm without the snow

But between the truck and kids and dog hair

Baby where'd the money go

[Chorus]

You're the reason we can't have nice things

Bless your heart you really are

Between the kids the dog the truck payments

Baby we ain't getting far

Sweet Jesus look around us honey

Does any of this look fine

You're the reason we can't have nice things

But Lord I'm glad you're mine

[Verse 3]

Now hold on just a minute darlin

Since we're layin' it all out

Let's talk about that bathroom counter

Honey what's that stuff about

Mary Kay and seventeen moisturizers

I don't know what half of it does

But you look beautiful baby

So I guess that's just because

[Verse 4]

And those nine dollar coffees

Add up through the week real fast

But with the kids and all the chaos

Baby how long would I last

Without you fully caffeinated

Keeping all of this together

So I'll pay for every coffee darlin

You hold us through all kinds of weather

[Chorus]

You're the reason we can't have nice things

And I wouldn't change a day

Between your Mary Kay and nine dollar coffees

Honey you earn every latte

Sweet Jesus look around us darlin

Does any of this look fine

You're the reason we can't have nice things

But Lord I'm glad you're mine

[Outro]

You're the reason...

No YOU'RE the reason...

We can't have nice things...

But Lord we're glad we're ours
