I hope you die peacefully in your sleep
Just kidding, I hope it hurts like you hurt me
I hope that when you think of me, you can't breathe
I hope you never find a sock to match the other one
Hey, will your dad pay your taxes now that I'm done?
I can promise you're not foolin' anyone
And you can tell the girl who left her tights on my boat
That she can have you now
Yeah, you can tell the girl who left her tights on my boat
That she can have you now
You're gonna get what you got coming to ya
You're gonna get what you got coming to ya
You're gonna get what you got coming to ya
You are, you are
You're gonna get what you got coming to ya
Can't be the first one to ever tell ya
You're gonna get what you got coming to ya
You are, you are
If it's the last thing I see
Yeah
If it's the last thing I see, oh, oh
Remember when you wouldn't come away with me
Sent your mom instead, yeah, that was a real thing
I should have known you were trouble
Just save myself from all the trouble
You came to visit on tour and you made me cry
Wouldn't speak to me for weeks and now I know why
Yeah
And you can tell the girl who left her tights on my boat
That she can have you now
Yeah, you can call her right now
And tell her that she can have you right now
You're gonna get what you got coming to ya
God, I won't be the last one to tell ya
You're gonna get what you got coming to ya
You are, you are
You're gonna get what you got coming to ya
Just 'cause I'm singing, don't let it fool ya
You're gonna get what you got coming to ya
You are, you are
If it's the last thing I see
Yeah
If it's the last thing I see
Hey, hey
The last thing I see
Ah, you're gonna get what you got coming
Get what you, get what you got coming
You're gonna get what you got coming
Get what you, get what you got coming
You're gonna get what you got coming
Get what you, get what you got coming
You're gonna get what you got coming
Get what you, get what you got coming
You're gonna get what you got coming

Used to be a Chick fan because they made good old fashioned country music and made it well. Now, I live them because they're putting out songs I can relate to as a person with emotions who has been through the kind of shit that their new songs are about. I will listen to these ladies forever and probably never be disappointed.

Putting the Country but into Country music in 2020.
@kayteberry3701
Operative words "old fashioned". C'mon, catch up!!!!!
@jenniferwellman5311
I would say they’ve 100% evolved. This album is probably one of the best works of art and music that I’ve ever heard coming out of them. Which means that maybe you need to go through some pain in order to come through to the other side. Whole!!!!!
@melissacooper9157
Spacey Casey... Couldn't agree with you more! I am a forever fan. IMO they have never had a bad album. Every one of them are fantastic!
@chuckmcgillen9897
I am SO GLAD someone pissed Natalie Maines off! Entire album is 🔥! Every song speaks to me! ❤❤❤
@Pancakeshouse85
Dude... you really hurt her. Jesus. Hope this album sells millions.
@Hollins23
I love your comment. He really did hurt her, and crush her hopes/ dreams for their family. Now, she's making lemonade from those lemons that Adrian gave her! Go, Natalie!
@Hollins23
I hope it sells 100 million! :)

She said in an interview it's not about him.
