She Wouldn't Be Gone

Red roadside wildflower, if I had 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 to make her laugh, held her when she cried
 A little more of 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 'a 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 comin'
 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 mama, 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 'a loved her this much all along
 Maybe, maybe, yeah, 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 'a loved her this much all along
 Maybe, maybe, yeah, maybe. She wouldn't be gone
 She wouldn't be gone
