Gone Gone Gone

Intro

Yeah... (yeah)

Verse

Boots still muddy from that last dirt road dance,

Her lipstick smudge on my old coffee can.

Radio's playin' our song on repeat,

But she's slammin' the door, kickin' up dust on these streets.

I said "Baby, don't go," she said "Boy, it's too late,"

Packed her bags in the truck, left me standin' at the gate.

Chorus

Tail lights burnin' red, watch 'em fade into the night,

Whiskey in my glass, drownin' out the fight.

She's gone, gone, gone like a freight train rollin'

Leavin' me here pickin' up what's broken.

Yeah, she's gone, gone, gone and I'm holdin' on tight

To the ghost of what we had under these Friday night lights.

Gone, gone, gone...

Verse

Her perfume lingers on the shotgun seat,

Empty side of the bed feels cold on my feet.

Friends say "Time heals," pour another round,

But every steel guitar string cuts me down.

I drive these backroads where we carved our names,

Now it's just echoes callin' out in the rain.

Chorus

Tail lights burnin' red, watch 'em fade into the night,

Whiskey in my glass, drownin' out the fight.

She's gone, gone, gone like a freight train rollin'

Leavin' me here pickin' up what's broken.

Yeah, she's gone, gone, gone and I'm holdin' on tight

To the ghost of what we had under these Friday night lights.

Gone, gone, gone...

Bridge

One day I'll wake up, won't hurt quite so bad,

Find a new love, leave these memories in the past.

But tonight I'm just a fool with a half-smoked pack,

Starin' at the stars, wishin' her Cadillac...

Chorus

Tail lights burnin' red, watch 'em fade into the night,

Whiskey in my glass, drownin' out the fight.

She's gone, gone, gone like a freight train rollin'

Leavin' me here pickin' up what's broken.

Yeah, she's gone, gone, gone and I'm holdin' on tight

To the ghost of what we had under these Friday night lights.

Outro

Gone, gone, gone... (yeah, she's gone)

Gone...
