She Wouldn't Be Gone

Red roadside wild flower
If I'd only picked you
Took you home and set you on the counter
Oh, at least a time or two
Maybe she'd have thought it through
Yellow sunset slowly dippin' down in the rearview
Oh, how she loved 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 to make her laugh
Held her when she cried
A little more of that, maybe I...

Wouldn't be drivin like hell
Flyin' like crazy down the highway
Callin' everyone we know
Stoppin' any place she might be
Goin' anywhere she might go
Beatin' on the dash
Screamin' out her name at the windshield
Tears soaking up my face
If I had loved her this much all along
Maybe, maybe, yeah 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 momma
Cried like a baby to her best friend
If they've seen her, they ain't saying
They ain't saying
Now I'm cursing like a fool
Prayin' it ain't too late
All I wanna do is fix my mistakes
Find her, beg her, for one more try
Until then, dammit I'll

Be drivin' like hell
Flyin' like crazy down the highway
Callin' everyone we know
Stoppin' any place she might be
Goin' anywhere she might go
Beatin' on the dash
Screamin' out her name at the windshield
Tears soaking up my face
If I had loved her this much all along
Maybe, maybe, yeah maybe
She wouldn't be gone

I wouldn't be beatin' on the dash
Screamin' out her name at the windshield
Tears soaking up my face
If I had loved her this much all along
Maybe, maybe, yeah maybe
She wouldn't be gone

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