life after your leavin'

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 sayin' your memory don't track me down

and pour a little salt on the pain

i'm just sayin' that i hurt a little bit less

and love more every day

i'm a walkin'

talkin'

90 proof just like this drink i'm drinkin'

but there's a light at the end of your long gone tunnel

a life after your leavin'

i reach your picture off the dash

throw you out of my silverado

got sick of you lookin' back and cuttin' 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 closin' and i'm movin' on

i ain't sayin' your memory don't track me down

and pour a little salt on the pain

i'm just sayin' that i hurt a little bit less

and love more every day

i'm a walkin'

talkin'

90 proof just like this drink i'm drinkin'

but there's a light at the end of your long gone tunnel

a life after your leavin'

yeah

my heart's still beatin' and i'm still breathin'

finally gettin' back to me

i'm even thinking maybe my goin' crazy's

got a chance to rest in peace

i ain't sayin' your memory don't track me down

and pour a little salt on the pain

i'm just sayin' that i hurt a little bit less

and love more every day

i'm a walkin'

talkin'

90 proof just like this drink i'm drinkin'

babe

there's a light at the end of your long gone tunnel

baby

life after your leavin'

babe

there's a light at the end of your long gone tunnel

baby

life after your leavin'

oh yeah

i'm still alive

much to your surprise
