Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Seventy-two miles and three states to you
I can't undo the damage without you
I had so much left to give you
I guess I just couldn't find the time
[Verse 2]
I must confess I didn't love you
Quite as much as I ignored you
And tore you down
[Verse 3]
Goodnight, my dogtown days
Every backseat pledge I made is dead
Your eyes reflected blue
Everything I knew about you is dead
Just south of heaven
[Verse 4]
When it began, the thing felt right
I was only kidding, if I destroyed your life
I must confess, you were the best
I lost my cool, I needed you
[Verse 5]
Goodnight, my dogtown days
Every backseat pledge I made is dead
Your eyes reflected blue
Everything I knew about you is dead
Just south of heaven
Just west of Evansville
Indiana
