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 ridin' 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', ninety 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', ninety 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 still beatin' and I'm still breathin'

Finally gettin' back to me

I'm even thinkin' maybe my goin' crazies

Got a chance to rest in peace

I ain't sayin' your memory won'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', ninety 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'

I'm still alive

Much to your surprise
