Lonestar

Lonestar - Long Lost Smile lyrics

(Marc Beeson/Neil Thrasher)

She squeezed the handle and topped the tank off

Pulled out her necklace and kissed the cross

El Paso heat wave risin' off the hood

She's goin' through with somethin'

He never thought she would.

By now he's rollin' over on his back

But he ain't wakin' up not with all the liquor he's had

She'll be halfway to Longview by the time he starts to stir

By the time he opens his eyes

She'll already be a blur

You go girl, get in that Cadillac

There ain't no life in lookin' back.

She tore outta that station dust n' gravel flyin'

Side-swiped a couple of highway signs

Tore off both mirrors somethin' free n' wild

Yeah seems like ages but there's that smile

That long lost smile.

Starin' through that windshield, new look in her eyes

A conscience as clear as the Texas sky

She ran outta patience, outta strength, outta tears

He ran outta second chances, now she's outta here

You go girl, don't look back

There ain't no life in livin' like that.

She tore outta that station dust n' gravel flyin'

Side-swiped a couple of highway signs

Tore off both mirrors somethin' free n' wild

Yeah seems like ages but there's that smile

That long lost smile

That long lost smile

Yeah, you go girl, you go girl.

Yeah, you go girl, you go girl...
