When They're Gone (Lyle County)

Look at that worn out rusty engine

Sittin' there beggin' for a spark

Don't look like much in that condition

But there was time you should have seen her run

Down every backroad in Lyle County

Under every streetlight up on Main

You're sitting there drummin' on a dashboard

Both of us fallin' like a fickle rain

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

She had hair tangled as a kudzu

Legs as long as the trails that cut through

Goes back acres to the riverbend

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 nothin'

Yeah we were

Cooler than December

Hotter than July young and strong

And some things aren't meant to last forever

But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone

So come on (so come on)

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

When 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

No 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

Don't mean you forget em when they're gone

So come on (so come on)

Don't mean you forget em when they're gone

So come on (so come on)

Don't mean you forget em when they're gone

So come on (come on)
