Been held up and broke down in Nashville
Yeah my sweetheart's love it's a cold chill
Caught a redeye flight on a Tuesday night
Last time I was out in California
A couple things went down I gotta warn ya
They's a diamond ring and a friendship lost
Someone's got to pay the cost
Cut to scene and fade to black
That girl she won't be coming back
Put me way up on the silver screen
A broken heart and shattered dreams
A sea of lights a gentle breeze
It ain't no doubt about your big break
It ain't the luck you got it's the luck you make
Get an early start and keep a child's heart
The high road it's a long and hard
Sometimes livin' the shadows
You get a darkness creepin' on your good soul
Take your coat off and settle in
Loneliness your only friend
Cut to scene and fade to black
That girl she won't be coming back
Put me way up on the silver screen
A broken heart and shattered dreams
A sea of lights a gentle breeze
Heard it's a journey not a destination
Sometimes still my mind'll get to racing
Got a couple irons in the fire, a song on the wire
Might be looking pretty good
It ain't about the car that's for damn sure
It's all about the ridding with her
We're just tail lights flying down the highway
Looking for a bright new day
Cut to scene and fade to black
That girl she won't be coming back
Put me way up on the silver screen
A broken heart and shattered dreams
A sea of lights and a gentle breeze
That girl she won't be coming back
A broken heart and shattered dreams
A sea of lights and a gentle breeze
