Lyrics

I can't tell you about tomorrow
I don't remember yesterday
It's the blue skies and sunshine
That's gettin' in my way

I tried to be a good man
Lord knows that's a fact
But now she's gone
And nothin’s gonna bring her back

She gave up lakes and pontoon parties
For cars that are small and sporty
Gave up fields and sunshine
For expensive dresses that look fine
I loved her in every way
But at the end of the day, she went away
Thought it shoulda counted for somethin’
But it don't count for nothin’

I work hard herdin’ cattle
Bustin' broncs and buckin’ hay
It didn't seem to matter
That I came home to her each day

She said we’d stay together
Said we were two birds of a feather
Through the good and the bad times
And every kind of weather

We used to dance in the kitchen light
Laughin' loud deep into the night
Now the house feels cold and bare
With her perfume still hangin' in the air

She gave up lakes and pontoon parties
For cars that are small and sporty
Gave up fields and sunshine
For expensive dresses that look fine
I loved her in every way
But at the end of the day, she went away
Thought it shoulda counted for somethin’
But it don't count for nothin’

She swapped her boots for city shoes
Traded campfire songs for uptown blues
She found a world she thought was gold
But she forgot the hand she used to hold

Just the other day,
Mary Lou came to say

She was smilin' an glad to see you’d gone away
Said she knew the games you played
And hoped that maybe she could stay

She told me all the stories,
about all the wrong you’d done
Much to her surprise,
I didn’t come undone

She looked into my eyes
gave me a sexy smile
said she was sad that you were gone
and she should stay awhile

You gave up lakes and pontoon parties
For cars that are small and sporty
Gave up fields and sunshine
For a high-rise view that don’t look right -
you can't see the stars at night,
just more buildings and big bright lights

I loved you in every way
But at the end of the day, you walked away
Thought it shoulda counted for somethin’
But it don't count for nothin’

Now she's gone
And nothin’s gonna bring her back...

by the way...
I wish you all the luck and I sold your new pick up truck
I'm glad you're gone and nothings gonna bring you back...for sure not me...
