She Wouldn't Be Gone

Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you

Took you home set you on the counter

Oh, at least a time or two

Maybe she'd thought it through.



Yellow sunset slowly dipping down in the rear view

Oh, how she'd love to sit and watch you

I could have done that a whole lot more

If I hadn't been so stubborn, been so selfish

Thought about her more, thought about me less

Joked and maked her laugh, held her when she cried

A little more that.. maybe I...



Wouldn't be driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway

Calling everyone we know stopping any place she might be

Going any place she might go beating on the dash

Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face

If I had loved her this much all along, maybe maybe, yeaa maybe...

She wouldn't be gone.. she wouldn't be gone..



She warned me it was coming said if I didn't change

She was leaving

I just didn't believe she would ever really walk out,

God, I believe her now

Called her mamma, cried like a baby to her best friend

If they've seen her, they ain't sayin, they ain't sayin...

Now, I'm cursing like a fool, praying it ain't too late

All I wanna do is fix my mistakes.



Find her beg her for one more try, until then damn it I"ll..

Be driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway

Calling everyone we know stopping any place she might be

Going any place she might go beating on the dash

Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face

If I had loved her this much all along, maybe maybe, yeaa maybe...

She wouldn't be gone..



I wouldn't be beating on the dash

Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face

If I had loved her this much all along, maybe maybe, yeaa maybe...

Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
