[Intro]
[Verse 1]
You re in the blue breeze blowin
Across the sugar white sand
And the roar of the wheels
When I m tryin to land
In a Hank Williams tune
And a Coltrane song
In the dead of the night
And at the break of dawn
It never gets old
And it s always new
Everywhere I go
I keep on losin you
[Verse 2]
In the words of a poet
No one reads anymore
In the shadows and sunlight
Crawling across the floor
In airport lounges
In motel rooms
In the Starbucks line
Under quarter moons
Between the little white lies
And the cold hard truth
Is everywhere I am
Girl, I m still losin you
[Chorus]
Yeah, you kissed me one last time
Made that driveway gravel fly
Red taillights lit like a spark
Just the start of a long goodbye
And some memories just won t fade
Not a damn thing you can do
So, girl, if you re long gone
How come I keep on losin you?
[Verse 3]
In Seattle and Vegas
Old rodeos
And lonesome dove
And the last pictue show
In a truck stop parking lot
Gasoline rainbow
The burn of the whiskey
Neon smoke
I close my eyes
And you re right there
[Chorus]
Yeah, you kissed me one last time
Made that driveway gravel fly
Red taillights lit like a spark
Just the start of a long goodbye
And some memories just won t fade
Not a damn thing you can do
So, girl, if you re long gone
How come I keep on losin you?
[Bridge]
Missin you
Red wine, slow dance, kissin you
Late night drivin
Wishin you were still here
Turnin that radio
Searchin for a song to listen to
[Instrumental]
[Outro]
And some memories just won t fade
Not a damn thing you can do
So girl if you re long gone
How come I keep on losin you?
Guess I ll keep holdin on
And I ll keep on losin you
Missin you
Red wine, slow dance, kissin you
Searchin for a song to listen to
[Outro]
