Flatland Cavalry Never Comin' Back
[Verse 1]
We said "'til death do us part," babe
Does that include
The lust we mistook for love, babe?
It died too soon
[Pre-Chorus]
Now there's a blank slate reflecting heartbreak
Like dust under a rug, you're up and gone and swept away
[Chorus]
Standing in the rubble of a house we called a home
Dealing with the feeling of being all alone
Chewing on the gravel that you kicked up when you left
And now I'm staring at your lipstick on a front yard cigarette
I guess this is wherе the plans we made turn into thе past
It ain't so much the fact that you're leaving
It's the waiting on you
Knowing that you're never coming back
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, oh)
[Verse 2]
I should probably change the locks, babe (That'd be smart)
Toss that key under the rock, babe (You broke my heart)
Rip that clock off of the wall, babe
'Cause you're long, long gone, long, long gone
Long, long gone
[Chorus]
Standing in the rubble of a house we called a home
Dealing with the feeling of being all alone
Chewing on the gravel that you kicked up when you left
And now I'm staring at your lipstick on a front yard cigarette
I guess this is where the plans we made turn into the past
It ain't so much the fact that you're leaving
It's the waiting on you
Knowing that you're never coming back
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus]
Now there's a blank slate reflecting heartbreak
Like dust under a rug, you're up and gone and swept away
[Chorus]
Standing in the rubble of a house we called a home
Dealing with the feeling of being all alone
Chewing on the gravel that you kicked up when you left
And now I'm staring at your lipstick on a front yard cigarette
I guess this is where the plans we made turn into the past
It ain't so much the fact that you're leaving
It's the waiting on you
Knowing that you're never coming back
[Post-Chorus]
(Oh, oh) Oh, you're never coming back
[Outro]
It ain't so much the fact that you're leaving
It's the waiting on you
Knowing that you're never coming back
