Ain't Gone Yet (Live)

(album: First To Hit The Road - 2023)

Found a girl that looked like me
When I first moved to town
Had stars in her eyes so bright lit up her own sky
I guess it all kinda hit me
When I put that picture down
Who I used to be ain't looking too much like me now

You lose your green when you live a little life
But there's parts of her I don't wanna leave behind

So I keep the smile, I'll take the song
Feel every hurt but keep moving on and on
Oh they tried to hold her down but they never did
Damn that girl didn't know how to quit
On a dream, quit on herself
Put every penny she saved in a wishing well
Still got a little bit of her in me left
Lost her for a minute but she ain't gone yet

Oh I gave her forgiveness
For the things she didn't know
With a heart wide open no wonder kept getting broke
Yeah I'm a little less reckless
I find peace in being still
Had to give up some things but some things I never will

Yeah I keep the smile, I'll take the song
Feel every hurt but keep moving on and on
Oh they tried to hold her down but they never did
Damn that girl didn't know how to quit
On a dream, quit on herself
Put every penny she saved in a wishing well
Still got a little bit of her in me left
Lost her for a minute but she ain't gone yet
No she ain't gone yet

Take her where I go, no she ain't gone yet
Got what I got, they can have the rest
Looking in the mirror, no she ain't gone yet

Yeah I keep the smile, I'll take the song
Feel every hurt but keep moving on and on
Oh they tried to hold her down but they never did
Damn that girl didn't know how to quit
On a dream, quit on herself
Put every penny she saved in a wishing well
Still got a little bit of her in me left
Lost her for a minute but she ain't gone yet
