AmWe had a plan, move out of this town, Fbaby
FWest to the sand, it's all we talked about Clately
CI'd pack the car, bring your guitar and Jane for Gsmokin'
GFirst thing at dawn, you'd cue the songs and we'd get Amgoin'
AmBut you weren't home, waited on the porch for Fya
FSat there alone, all throughout the morn 'til I
FCGot a hunch down in the gut and snuck around the back
CGEmpty cans, and I'll be damned, your shit was never packed
GDid your Amboots stop workin'?
AmDid your truck break down? (Truck break down)
AmDid you Fburn through money?
FDid your ex find out? (Ex find out)
FCWhere there's a will, then there's a way
CAnd I'm damn sure you lost it
CGDidn't even say goodbye
GJust wish I knew what caused it
GWas the Amwhiskey flowin'?
AmWere you in a fight? (In a fight)
AmDid the Fnerves come get you?
FWhat's your alibi? (Alibi)
FI Cmade my way back to LA
CAnd that's where you'll be forgotten
CIn G40 years you'll still be here
GDrunk, washed Amup in Austin
