David Nail - When They're Gone Lyrics
Look at that worn out rusty engineSitting there begging for a sparkDon't look like much in that conditionBut there was a time you should've seen her runDown every back road in Lyle CountyUnder every streetlight up on MainYou sitting there drumming on a dashboardBoth of us falling like a fickle rainChorus:We wereCooler than December, hotter than JulyYoung and strongSome things aren't meant to last foreverBut that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone, so come onShe had hair tangled as the kudzuLegs as long as the trails that cut throughThose back acres to the river bendShe had her daddy's temper and her momma's flairMade people talk but did not careTry anything once ain't scared of nothingRepeat ChorusCome onDon't mean you forget 'emI still ride down those old roadsEven if it's in my mindTight blue jeans and winding curvesKeep me turning on a dime, yeah, just like the time[Chorus x2]Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone
