When They're Gone (Lyle County)

[Verse 1] Look at that worn out rusty engine Sitting there begging for a spark Don't look like much in that condition But there was a time you should've seen her run Down every back road in Lyle County Under every streetlight up on Main You sitting there drumming on a dashboard Both of us falling like a fickle rain [Chorus] We were Cooler than December, hotter than July Young and strong Some things aren't meant to last forever But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone So come on [Verse 2] She had hair tangled as the kudzu Legs as long as the trails that cut through Those back acres to the river bend She had her daddy's temper and her momma's flair Made people talk but did not care Try anything once ain't scared of nothing [Chorus] [Bridge] Don't mean you forget 'em I still ride down those old roads Even if it's in my mind Tight blue jeans and winding curves Keep me turning on a dime, yeah, just like the time [Chorus x2] [Outro] Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone, so come on Come on Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone So come on, come on Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone So come on, come on So come on, come on
