Girl Gets Gone Lyrics by Matt Stell
Another round down all the way to the rocks
When I hit rock bottom, fill it up to the top
Turning every bottle on the bottom shelf clear
Like a neon country cliche sitting here
‘Cause my blue eyes ain’t, that ain’t nothing new
Yeah, I’m just doing what you do
When a girl gets gone and drives away
A boy sits down, starts buying drinks
She’s on a highway, straight to her sister’s
He’s off the rails on a straight whiskey bender
She’s turning forever into taillight smoke
He’s kicking himself for ever letting her go
As she’s goodbye flying while he’s drowning on an old bar stool
When a girl gets gone, the boy does too
If these no-ring voicemails answer every time
It’ll be a bartender cut me off kinda night
I’m drinking, and she’s driving
Hell, there ain’t no wonderin’ why
When a girl gets gone and drives away
A boy sits down, starts buying drinks
She’s on a highway, straight to her sister’s
He’s off the rails on a straight whiskey bender
She’s turning forever into taillight smoke
He’s kicking himself for ever letting her go
As she’s goodbye flying while he’s drowning on an old bar stool
When a girl gets gone, the boy does too
When a girl gets gone, the boy does too
But she’s moved on with somebody new
And I’m still doing what you do
When a girl gets gone and drives away
A boy sits down, starts buying drinks
She’s on a highway, straight to her sister’s
He’s off the rails on a straight whiskey bender
She’s turning forever into taillight smoke
He’s kicking himself for ever letting her go
Yeah, she’s goodbye flying while he’s drowning on an old bar stool
Yeah, she’s hitting 90 and I’m living 90 proof
When a girl gets gone, the boy does too
When a girl gets gone, the boy does too
