She Slipped Away Lyrics

Never thought she'd go remind me of fall leaves

Her smile left shadows of what we could be

Nights so empty like a song without a sound

On the lost highway that led her out of town

Whiskey and regrets harder to drown these days

Memories like wildfires burning through the haze

Streetlights flicker like the dreams that used to be

Her face is a whisper tied up in the breeze

She slipped away yeah she got out that door

Hole in my soul now like an empty dance floor

Can't chase shadows they're faster than light

The girl that got away my endless night

Rural bars dollars in the jukebox dime

Songs about sorrow feels like a crime

Eyes closed searching for that missed train

Tracks of our past lost in the rain

Oh howling wind organ hits the note

Voice so raspy cuts deeper than chain

Empty sheets can't be the way it stays

Silent nights with her so far away

She slipped away yeah she got out that door

Hole in my soul now like an empty dance floor

Can't chase shadows they're faster than the light

The girl that got away I'm living endless nights
