Intro: C
Verse
Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
Took you home set you on the counter
Oh at least a time or two
Maybe she'd thought it through.
Yellow sunset slowly dipping down in the rear view
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 and make her laugh held her when she cried
A little more that maybe I wouldn't be
Chorus
Driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway
Calling everyone we know stopping any place she might be
Going any place she might go beating on the dash
Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face
If I had loved her this much all along maybe, maybe, yeah maybe
She wouldn't be gone she wouldn't be gone
Verse
She warned me it was coming said if I didn't change she was leaving
I just didn't believe
She would ever really walk out
God I believe her now
Called her mama cried like a baby to her best friend
If they've seen her they ain't sayin
They ain't sayin
Now I'm cursing like a fool praying it ain't too late
All I wanna do is fix my mistakes
Find her beg her for one more try
Until then damn it I'll be
Chorus
Driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway
Calling everyone we know stopping any place she might be
Going any place she might go beating on the dash
Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face
If I had loved her this much all along maybe, maybe, yeah maybe
She wouldn't be gone she wouldn't be gone
I wouldn’t be beating on the dash screaming out her name at the windshield
Tears soaking up my face if I had loved her this much all along
Maybe, maybe, yeah maybe she wouldn’t be gone
Outro
Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
Took you home set you on the counter oh at least a time or two
Maybe she'd thought it through
The C6 in this song is essentially an Am/C. Listen carefully
to the progression of C, Cmaj7 and C6 in the song and you’ll
note that the C remains constant in the bass. The remainder
of the chords are standard barre chords. Also cleaned up the
lyrics on this version.
