lyrics

He was barely nineteen the day she turned thirty-one
Anxiety be damned, he decided to ask
where she was from, little did he know
She was a girl on the run

She was beautiful trouble, independent and strong,
She poured him his last whiskey right before making
sweet love to him all night long
And then she was gone

She said “boy this was but a taste of what life has in store
you’re going to have a good one, of that I am sure
you’re just going to have to make it so,
and learn to let me go…”

She skipped town on a whim without saying goodbye
drove off to better horizons, made out of nothing
but the blues of the sea and sky
Living one day at a time

She skipped town without him and left him behind
At night he still wakes wishing for her to lie
next to him naked, honest and kind
and his for the night

She said “boy this was but a taste of what life has in store
you’re going to have a good one, of that I am sure
you’re just going to have to make it so,
and learn to let me go…”

He spent years looking all over
Walking from door to door in search of her
Travelling the world for the girl next door
For a girl who did not want to be looked for

He spent years looking all over
Driving from shore to shore in need of her
Until one day he just could look no more
for a girl who did not want to be looked for

Who’d said “boy this was but a taste of what life has in store
you’re going to have a good one, of that I am sure
you’re just going to have to make it so,
and learn to let me go…”
