Red roadside wild flower,
If I had only picked you,
Took you home, set you on the counter,
Oh at least a time or two,
Maybe she'd have thought it through.
Yellow sunset slowly dippin' down in the rearview,
Oh, how she loved to sit and watch you,
I could have done that a whole lot more.
If I hadn't been so stubborn,
Been so selfish,
Thought about her more,
Thought about me less.
Joked to make her laugh,
Held her when she cried,
A little more of that,
Maybe I wouldn't be
Drivin' like hell,
Flyin' like crazy down the highway,
Callin' everyone we know,
Stoppin' any place she might be,
Goin' any place she might go.
Beatin' on the dash,
Screamin' out her name at the windshield,
Tears soakin' up my face.
If I'd have loved her this much all along,
Maybe, maybe, yeah maybe,
She wouldn't be gone.
She wouldn't be gone.
She warned me it was comin',
Said if I didn't change she'd was leavin'.
I just didn't believe
She would ever really walk out.
God I believe her now.
Called her momma,
Cried like a baby to her best friend,
If they seen her they ain't sayin',
They ain't sayin'.
Now I'm cursin' like a fool,
Prayin' it ain't too late,
All I wanna do is fix my mistakes.
Find her, beg her, for one more try,
Until then dammit I'll be
Drivin' like hell,
Flyin' like crazy down the highway,
Callin' everyone we know,
Stoppin' any place she might be,
Goin' any place she might go.
Beatin' on the dash,
Screamin' out her name at the windshield,
Tears soakin' up my face.
If I'd have loved her this much all along,
Maybe, maybe, yeah maybe,
She wouldn't be gone.
I wouldn't be beatin' on the dash,
Screamin' out her name at the windshield,
Tears soakin' up my face.
If I'd have loved her this much all along,
Maybe, maybe, yeah maybe,
She wouldn't be gone.
Red roadside wild flower,
