That's How Ya Left Me

(album: Outlaws Like Us - 2017)

Your two bare feet running through my yard
To the driver side of your two door car
There was an oil stain on the concrete
As you backed out into the street
I thought real hard about chasing you down
As I watched your taillights fade on out
And I never knew these boots could feel so damn heavy
That's how you left me
That's how you left me

You left me like you leave a small town
Down a back road
Fading out like your favorite song on an FM radio
You left me like you leave a warm drink
Right around last call
Like a front seat at the end of the show when the lights come on
Barely breathing, watching you leave me lonely
That's how you left me

Ain't it funny how your car started right up
After all those mornings you'd scream and cuss
And beat the dash on that beat up piece of junk
I was hoping I'd hear that midnight train
It'd hold you up down Dogwood Lane
And maybe you'd have time to think about turning around

You left me like you leave a small town
Down a back road
Fading out like your favorite song on an FM radio
You left me like you leave a warm drink
Right around last call
Like a front seat at the end of the show when the lights come on
Barely breathing, watching you leave me lonely
Yeah, that's how you left me

If you ever decide you wanna come back
Well I can't say that I'd be mad
Cause I never knew that leaving could look so pretty
That's how you left me
That's how you left me

You left me like you leave a small town
Down a back road
Fading out like your favorite song on an FM radio
You left me like you leave a warm drink
Right around last call
Like a front seat at the end of the show when the lights come on
Barely breathing, watching you leave me lonely
That's how you left me
Yeah, that's how you left me
