One last suitcase full of things She's heading to her momma's place in Boston Nothing left for me to say Too late to fix anything with talking Now the best thing in my life Just told me goodbye Guess you don't know what you got until it's walking out the door The one thing that was a sure thing sure ain't anymore What I had ain't coming back the way her wheels are rolling I used to have a good thing going on Now I just got a good thing going I'm the one to blame I guess Counting on too many second chances Tail lights got a funny way Of shedding light on things you take for granted Don't know how I let it happen Guess you don't know what you got until it's walking out the door The one thing that was a sure thing sure ain't anymore What I had ain't coming back the way her wheels are rolling I used to have a good thing going on Now I just got a good thing going There she goes picking up speed I'll be playing back this moment In slow motion My good thing going No you don't know what you got until it's walking out the door The one thing that was a sure thing sure ain't anymore What I had ain't coming back the way her wheels are rolling I used to have a good thing going on Now I just got a good thing going

She rolled into town With the windows down Maggie May playing on the radio Of that El Camino She was on summer break Just getting in from Notre Dame Staying with her grandma down the road And she had ahold of me For those next 12 weeks Running through stop signs and gasoline We were brand new tires on old back roads Clouds of dust and Marlboro smoke Hands surfing out the window Going wherever the wind blows Headlights off in an empty field July moon in the windshield Handprints in fogged up glass God I wish I could just reach back Through that rear view mirror To those 3 good months On those 4 Goodyears Man we drove that thing Til' the asphalt sang The wheels still spin around in my head At 17 years old Life is just an open road Hadn't felt that free til' then Haven't felt that free since We were brand new tires on old back roads Clouds of dust and Marlboro smoke Hands surfing out the window Going wherever the wind blows Headlights off in an empty field July moon in the windshield Handprints in fogged up glass God I wish I could just reach back Through that rear view mirror To those 3 good months On those 4 Goodyears But when the rubber meets the road Under an August sun Girls and cars like that Were made to run But I still hear her singing Whoa oh oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh oh We were brand new tires on old back roads Clouds of dust and Marlboro smoke Hands surfing out the window Going wherever the wind blows Headlights off in an empty field July moon in the windshield Handprints in fogged up glass My God I wish I could just reach back Through that rear view mirror To those 3 good months On those 4 Goodyears And I'm still singing Whoa oh oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh oh Whoa oh oh oh oh

I picked her up I took her out on a date Had a couple drinks, a couple laughs I took her back to her place We were front door saying goodnighting She was all like, "I had a good time" and I leaned in for a goodnight kiss but she didn't She put me on the friend ship, out there waiting In an ocean, and she's just waving From the shoreline cuz she don't like me like that She took the wind right out, of all my sails and now Instead of floating down the coast in the love boat with her I'm sinking in The friend ship She hit me with The "It ain't you it's me" thing I mean I guess she did her best To try and let me down easy But I was feeling like that old Titanic Running into a cold gigantic Block of ice out there right under her porch light When she put me on the friend ship, out there waiting In an ocean, and she's just waving From the shoreline cuz she don't like me like that She took the wind right out, of all my sails and now Instead of floating down the coast in the love boat with her I'm sinking in The friend ship I didn't think that she was gonna leave me All alone with my dinghy She put me on the friend ship, out there waiting In an ocean, and she's just waving From the shoreline cuz she don't like me like that She took the wind right out, of all my sails and now Instead of floating down the coast in the love boat with her I'm sinking in The friend ship
