She Wouldn't Be Gone

Red roadside wildflowers, if I'd only picked you.
Took you home, set you on the counter,
Oh, atleast a time or two..
Maybe she'd thought it through.
Yellow sunset slowly dipping down in the rearview.
Oh, how she loved to sit and watch you,
I coulda done that a whole lot more.
If I hadn't been so stubborn,
Been so selfish,
Thought about her more,
Thought about me less,
Joked and made her laugh,
Held her when she cried,
A little more of that and maybe I..
Wouldn't be driving like hell,
Flyin' like crazy down the highway,
Calling everyone we know..
Stopping any place she might be,
Going any place she might go.
Beatin' on the dash,
Screamin' out her name at the windsheild,
Tears soakin up my face.
If I had loved her this much all along,
Maybe, maybe, yeah maybe,
She wouldn't be gone..
She warned me it was coming,
Said if I didn't change she was leavin,
I just didn't belive she would ever really walk out.
God, I believe her now.
Called her mama, cried like a baby to her best friend,
If they seen her, they ain't sayin,
They ain't sayin...
Now I'm cursin' like a fool,
Prayin' it ain't too late,
All I wanna do is fix my mistakes.
Find her, beg her for one more try,
Until then, damn it I'll..
Be driving like hell,
Flyin' like crazy down the highway,
Calling everyone we know..
Stopping any place she might be,
Going any place she might go.
Beatin' on the dash,
Screamin' out her name at the windsheild,
Tears soakin up my face.
If I had loved her this much all along,
Maybe, maybe, yeah maybe,
She wouldn't be gone..
I wouldn't be beatin' on the dash,
Screamin' out her name at the windsheild,
Tears soakin up my face.
If I had loved her this much all along,
Maybe, maybe, yeah maybe,
She wouldn't be gone..
Red roadside wildflowers, if I'd only picked you.
Took you home, set you on the counter,
Oh, atleast a time or two..
Maybe she'd thought it through.
