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

Said you'd be gone for the day, so I could come and get my things Found that box beneath our bed, full of keepsakes that we kept And now we're throwing all away Five by sevens of your smile, haven't seen that in a while Little Post It Notes and cards, i's dotted with hearts In the words you used to write Here we are, the best of us is all just faded ink I never thought at the time we made those memories, that's all they'd be And you and me would wind up right here later, better on paper Pages stacked up on the desk, bullet points of all this mess Little X's by the lines where the lawyer said to sign To lay this thing to rest Here we are, the end of us is all typed out in ink I never thought we'd get to where we couldn't even speak, it's hard to believe The worst of us would wind up right here later, better on paper A couple strangers, just better on paper

Yeah we really ought to quit When last time was the last time like it always is When at 3am on a cold night What's wrong feels right Yeah we really outa quit But oh, you're running through my veins We can't escape the fact that we ain't gonna get away From that low that we both know this temporary high will bring We've already been where this thing's going So tell me why do we go there knowing That we'll get our fix and then still both be broken Yeah old habits die hard But this one is killing us so here we are With the sun coming up on a heart break Shedding light on a mistake we make Cuz old habits die hard We can't escape the fact that we ain't gonna get away From that low that we both know this temporary high will bring We've already been where this thing's going So tell me why do we go there knowing That we'll get our fix and then still both be broken We'll see the damage done, when we pick our pieces up But oh, you're running through my veins We can't escape the fact that we ain't gonna get away From that low that we both know this temporary high will bring We've already been where this thing's going So tell me why do we go there knowing That we'll get our fix and then still both be broken

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

I didn't even see your leavin comin Two years gone right on down the drain Well there's a lot of fish in the sea and I'm sure there's another one there for me But before I go and cast a line I think I'm gonna take a heart break and put it on an airplane Gonna touch down in a beach town and drink my cares away Reaching for a cold can instead of your cold hand Forget about love sitting in the sun today I'm gonna take a heart break I'm gonna put my chair right there by the water And let your memory roll out with the tide And when the girls go by lookin Caribbean hot I aint gonna care I aint being stopped From putting my broken heart on a cooler of ice I'm gonna take a heart break and put it on an airplane Gonna touch down in a beach town and drink my cares away Reaching for a cold can instead of your cold hand Forget about love sitting in the sun today I'm gonna take a heart break I'm Gonna take a heart break, a little getaway Some free time, some me time, gonna give love a little space I'm gonna take a heart break and put it on an airplane Gonna touch down in a beach town and drink my cares away Reaching for a cold can instead of your cold hand Forget about love sitting in the sun today I'm gonna take a heart break and put it on an airplane Gonna touch down in a beach town and drink my cares away Reaching for a cold can instead of your cold hand Forget about love sitting in the sun today I'm gonna take a heart break I'm gonna take a heart break I'm gonna put my chair right there by the water I'm gonna take a heart break

It's the crying out your eyes around a casket when you can't get someone back But it's the thought of how good it was when they were here that makes it hurt so bad It's the baby that won't sleep That's driving you insane But them smiling chubby cheeks That makes it all ok No life ain't always pretty It's something else sometimes But it's the good and bad in living that makes you feel alive It's the killing yourself trying To make a dream come true And it's that feeling like you're flying The moment that you do You gotta know the halfway empty To know the halfway full No life ain't always pretty But ain't it beautiful Yea the lucky ones get to love even if they love and lose Cuz anything worth anything is always gone too soon We only hold so tight to things cuz we'll have to let 'em go No nothing lasts forever but maybe it's better cuz it don't No life ain't always pretty It's something else sometimes But it's the good and bad in living that makes you feel alive It's the killing yourself trying To make a dream come true And it's that feeling like you're flying The moment that you do You gotta know the halfway empty To know the halfway full No life ain't always pretty But ain't it beautiful No life ain't always pretty It's something else sometimes But it's the good and bad in living that makes you feel alive It's the killing yourself trying To make a dream come true And it's that feeling like you're flying The moment that you do You gotta feel the halfway empty To feel the halfway full No life ain't always pretty But ain't it beautiful Ain't it beautiful

From them map dot towns to those big cities on the coast From them six lane highways to those old dirt roads We're from different walks of life but at the end of the day When we wanna unwind we're really all the same All red or yellow, black or white We're still red and white and blue inside From sea to shining sea anywhere you go you're gonna find Some Milwaukee wheat being held up on a Saturday night A hometown crowd singing loud let freedom ring, woah A bunch of long neck bottles full of 12 fluid ounces swaying over our heads while we make Some American, amber waves of grain Sometimes we get divided but that aint how it has to be Cuz sometimes we can lift each other higher than purple mountain majesties And put the 'us' in the USA Over some cold and light American mades From sea to shining sea anywhere you go you're gonna find Some Milwaukee wheat being held up on a Saturday night A hometown crowd singing loud let freedom ring, woah A bunch of long neck bottles full of 12 fluid ounces swaying over our heads while we make Some American, amber waves of grain So lets raise 'em up higher than a July firework lighting up her spacious skies From sea to shining sea, Golden Gate to Lady Liberty From sea to shining sea anywhere you go you're gonna find Some Milwaukee wheat being held up on a Saturday night A hometown crowd singing loud let freedom ring, woah A bunch of long neck bottles full of 12 fluid ounces swaying over our heads while we make Some American, amber waves of grain Amber waves of grain
