she would'nt be gone lyrics

Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
Took you home set you on the counter
Oh, at least a time or two
Maybe she'd thought it through

Yellow sunset slowly dipping down in the rear view
Oh, how she'd love to sit and watch you
I could have done that a whole lot more

If I hadn't been so stubborn, been so selfish
Thought about her more, thought about me less
Joked and maked her laugh, held her when she cried
A little more that, maybe I

Wouldn't be driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway
Calling everyone we know, stopping any place she might be
Going any place she might go

Beating on the dash, screaming out her name at the windshield
Tears soaking up my face, if I'd have loved her this much all along
Maybe maybe, yea maybe
She wouldn't be gone, she wouldn't be gone

She warned me it was coming, said if I didn't change she was leaving
I just didn't believe she would ever really walk out
God, I believe her now

Called her mamma, cried like a baby to her best friend
If they've seen her, they ain't sayin', they ain't sayin'

Now, I'm cursing like a fool, praying it ain't too late
All I wanna do is fix my mistakes
Find her beg her for one more try, until then damn it I"ll

Be driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway
Calling everyone we know, stopping any place she might be
Going any place she might go

Beating on the dash, screaming out her name at the windshield
Tears soaking up my face, if I'd have loved her this much all along
Maybe maybe, yea maybe
She wouldn't be gone, she wouldn't be gone

I wouldn't be beating on the dash, screaming out her name at the windshield
Tears soaking up my face, if I'd have loved her this much all along
Maybe maybe, yea maybe
She wouldn't be gone

Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
Took you home set you on the counter, oh at least a time or two
Maybe she'd a thought it through
