Taillights Too Late

[Verse 1]
Never saw them packed up bags
Sitting out there on the porch
Never heard them jangling keys
Never heard a slamming door
Got up and walked outside
When I heard that two-tone she drives
Come alive

[Chorus]
By the time you hear that gravel
Kicking out from under them wheels
Whole world's gonna come unraveled
Finding out how goodbye feels
Gonna hear that radio fade
Into the night like a heartbreak song
Yeah, shes gone
Like a cloud of dust and a Texas plate
Boots on the gas and off the breaks
And I'm staring at the taillights too late

[Verse 2]
All the little things she said
Never read between the lines
Never saw that teardrop drop
In that cowgirl's eyes
I saw the red light glow
Disappear down a long gone road
And there she goes

[Chorus]
By the time you hear that gravel
Kicking out from under them wheels
Whole world's gonna come unraveled
Finding out how goodbye feels
Gonna hear that radio fade
Into the night like a heartbreak song
Yeah, shes gone
Like a cloud of dust and a Texas plate
Boots on the gas and off the breaks
And I'm staring at the taillights too late

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
By the time you hear that gravel
Kicking out from under them wheels
Whole world's gonna come unraveled
Finding out how goodbye feels
Gonna hear that radio fade
Into the night like a heartbreak song
Yeah, shes gone
Like a cloud of dust and a Texas plate
Getting out of here, well on her way
And I'm staring at the taillights too late

[Outro]
Never saw them packed up bags
Sitting out there on the porch
Never heard them jangling keys
Never heard a slamming door
