There was a song
You always seemed to loved a little more than the others
You always turned it up a little louder than your favorites
Maybe the lyrics should've let me know
Where our future was going
But I just sang along while you smiled at me

I'm driving alone now
And it's the first time I heard that song since you left me
I'll sing along
Old lyrics that I knew almost as well as I knew you


I saw that you're dating
The beautiful girl who made eyes at you
And I don't know how much it rains in Texas
But it seems no matter how much beer I drink
This heartbreak just keeps ruining me
It's a beautiful world with a beautiful girl
Kinda making eyes at me

Cause the sun's too bright, the sky's too blue
Beer's too cold to be thinking bout you
Gonna take this heartbreak and tuck it away
Save it for a rainy day

Yeah, the music's too good, my friends are all out
And they're all too high to be bringing 'em down
If they ask about you, I've got nothing to say
I'll save it for a rainy day

There'll be plenty of time for what if's and why's
And how'd I let you get away
But the lying in bed all stuck in my head
Is just gonna have to wait
