Gone As You

(album: Blacktop - 2023)

You're probably headed for your mama's house
Burning Love's 87 down 35 South
Betcha caught some air across those railroad tracks
Like a bat outta where it's all going real fast
Hope you're thinking 'bout a turn-around, but I'm betting you ain't
And this Tennessee Black Label bottle's calling my name
'Cause

Judging by that gravel flying and that goodbye smoke
I'm 'bout to learn how far a never-coming-back road goes
You're in the clear, I'm sitting here watching that sun go down
On me and you, that 90 proof looks pretty good right now
If you need me baby, I'll be in here in your rear view
Pulling on this fifth of whiskey 'til it's gone as you
'Til it's gone as you

You're saying nothing but you're saying it all
With them go to hell straight to voicemail missed calls
Ain't holding my breath for a change of heart
No second chance headlights in the dark
I turned this front porch into a bar
And I'm shutting it right on down
'Cause

Judging by that gravel flying and that goodbye smoke
I'm 'bout to learn how far a never-coming-back road goes
You're in the clear, I'm sitting here watching that sun go down
On me and you, that 90 proof looks pretty good right now
If you need me baby, I'll be in here in your rear view
Pulling on this fifth of whiskey 'til it's gone as you
'Til it's gone as you

Gone for good
Gone like Tuesday with the wind
Gone as it gets
So I'm 'bout to tip this back again
'Cause

Judging by that gravel flying and that goodbye smoke
I'm 'bout to learn how far a never-coming-back road goes
You're in the clear, I'm sitting here watching that sun go down
On me and you, that 90 proof looks pretty good right now
If you need me baby I'll be in here in your rear view
Pulling on this fifth of whiskey 'til it's gone as
If you need me baby, I'll be in here in your rear view
Pulling on this fifth of whiskey 'til it's gone as you
'Til it's gone as you
