We had a plan Move out of this town, baby
West to the sand It's all we talked about lately
I packed a car,
bring your guitar And Jane for smokin'
First thing at dawn,
you'd cue the songs and we'd get going
But are you on home?
Waited on the porch for you, sat there alone
All throughout the morn' till I got a hunch
Down in my gut and snuck around the back
Empty cans and I'll be damned,
your * was never packed
Did your boots stop workin'?
Did your truck break down?
Did you burn through money?
Did your ex find out?
But there's a will and there's a way and I'm damn sure you lost it
I didn't even say goodbye,
just wish I knew what cost
It was the whiskey flowing,
were you in a fight?
Did the nerves come get you?
What's your alibi?
I made my way back to L.A.
and that's where you'll be forgotten
In 40 years, you'll still be here,
drunk while show up in Austin
Hell of a bluff,
you had me believing
How many months did you plan on leaving?
What happened?
Bad habits,
you go back, go back *, I loved you, how tragic,
oh
Did your boot stop working?
Did your truck break down?
Did you burn through money?
Did your ex find a house?
Where there's a will and there's a way
And I'm damn sure you lost it
Didn't even say goodbye
Just wish I knew what cost
It was the whiskey flowing
Were you in a fight?
Did the nerves come
And get you what you're all about?
I made my way back to LA
That's where you'll be forgotten be forgotten,
in 40 years you'll still be here,
drunk, washed up and all slid
Did you shop at your float?
Did you ask for a float?
