Life After Your Leavin'

(álbum: Somebody Like Me - 2019)

Since you tore the book on us
I opened up a brand new chapter
Knocked a couple years dust off the old bass tracker
I had a few too many with Jones and Jennys
When you hit me, it'd been way too long
Mighta even woke up once under that wagon
That you had me riding on

I ain't saying your memory don't track me down
And pour a little salt on the pain
I'm just saying that I hurt a little bit less
And love more every day
I'm a walking, talking, 90 proof just like this drink I'm drinking
But there's a light at the end of your long gone tunnel
A life after your leaving

I reach your picture off the dash, Throw you out of my Silverado
Got sick of you looking back and cutting into my tomorrow
And I burned that bridge to Heartache Ville
Where I used to go to be alone
Now I left that spot where the clock stood still
Now I'm closing and I'm moving on

I ain't saying your memory don't track me down
And pour a little salt on the pain
I'm just saying that I hurt a little bit less
And love more every day
I'm a walking, talking, 90 proof just like this drink I'm drinking
But there's a light at the end of your long gone tunnel
A life after your leaving

Yeah, my heart's still beating and I'm still breathing
Finally getting back to me
I'm even thinking maybe my going crazy's
Got a chance to rest in peace

I ain't saying your memory don't track me down
And pour a little salt on the pain
I'm just saying that I hurt a little bit less
And love more every day
I'm a walking, talking, 90 proof just like this drink I'm drinking
Babe, there's a light at the end of your long gone tunnel
Baby, life after your leaving
Babe, there's a light at the end of your long gone tunnel
Baby, life after your leaving

Oh yeah, I'm still alive
Much to your surprise
