I Let A Keeper Get Away

I pulled to the side of the interstate

I just couldn't go on

I've been chasing the morning like some young fool

Living out an old song

How on earth could I lose you like this

Now you're with Heaven knows who

And I'm halfway to Georgia with a car full of memories of you

I let a keeper get away

How could I have been so blind

I let a keeper get away

There's only one one of a kind

I didn't know just what we had

But this time I've really messed up bad

Now I guess I've gotta pay

I let a keeper get away

Found a picture of us underneath my seat

Looking for my red flashlight

It was taken last summer at your mama's place

Holding each other real tight

I just don't need reminders like that

Cluttering up my car

So I'll just put it in my pocket and keep it right next to my heart

I let a keeper get away

How could I have been so blind

I let a keeper get away

There's only one one of a kind

I didn't know just what we had

But this time I've really messed up bad

Now I guess I've gotta pay

I let a keeper get away

I didn't know just what we had

But this time I've really messed up bad

Now I guess I've gotta pay

I let a keeper get away
