Stay Gone
Copyright 2009 Mason Reed (ASCAP)

They lied distance don’t make love grow stronger
Take for instance I met this songbird
Now she’s on the road singing all about love
She’ll stay gone a little longer

White lines and its her fault
Yellow lines and its my fault
Diesel fumes and the asphalt
She’ll stay gone a little longer
Yeah she’ll stay gone a little longer

I’m a man with a capable heart
But love like ours should have never got started
You’re on the road learning all about love
While I’m at the bar broken hearted

I’m singing
White lines and its her fault
Yellow lines and its my fault
Diesel fumes and the asphalt
She’ll stay gone a little longer
Yeah she’ll stay gone a little longer

Last time I talked to you I knew we was through
Yeah I knew we was over
Now you’re out the door on tour whats more
I’m out a songbird
But I wish you all the best in life and love and all the rest
May you never get none of that wrong dear
When you’re on the road and you feel like coming home
When your soul is broken and your heart is all alone
When your voice is cracking at the end of every song
May you stay gone a little longer

White lines and its her fault
Yellow lines and its my fault
Diesel fumes and the asphalt
She’ll stay gone a little longer
Yeah she’ll stay gone a little longer
