After You

(album: MACON - 2021)

After you, I was chasing in a sunset scene
That Seger song in the backseat was kinda our thing
You drove a Pontiac and my heart crazy
If you jumped off that river bank, hell, I'd do the same after you
I'd walk into that bar right behind
Catch a stare down with some old boy, let 'em know you were mine
Swore it was gonna last the rest of our lives
But fireworks in February turned to one damn cold July

And now I'm burning down this hole in the wall
And I'm just tryna make some sense of it all
Looking for answers on this old bar stool
Just tryna figure out life after love, after leaving
After too much drinking, after you

After you, I thought about taking that runway
To I don't care, anywhere but this rundown place
Leave all this shit and put my Chevy in drive
I'll take any town, any day, any state but outta my mind

And now I'm burning down this hole in the wall
And I'm just tryna make some sense of it all
Looking for answers on this old bar stool
Just tryna figure out life after love, after leaving
After too much drinking, after you

I should've ran after you
Fast as I can after you
I didn't know I was gonna need a plan after you
You can tell after you
It's been hell after you
I don't even know who I am after you

And now I'm burning down this hole in the wall
And I'm just tryna make some sense of it all
Looking for answers on this old bar stool
Just tryna figure out life after love, after leaving
After too much drinking, after us
After dreaming, after too much thinking, after you
After you
After you
