(Verse 1)
Sittin’ on this tailgate, starin’ at the dirt road,
Bottle in my hand, feelin’ heavy like a load.
She packed up her bags, left without a fight,
Now I’m chasin’ shadows in the pale moonlight.
Memories hit harder than a Friday night punch,
Thinkin’ ‘bout her laugh, eatin’ me up for lunch.
(Pre-Chorus)
Don’t wanna call her number, don’t wanna hear her voice,
Just wanna drown it out, ain’t got no other choice.
(Chorus)
Gimme that small town heartbreak, pour it on the rocks,
Whiskey burnin’ slow, tickin’ like a clock.
She’s dancin’ in some bar with a new guy’s grin,
While I’m out here wonderin’ where it all went wrong again.
Yeah, small town heartbreak, it’s the kinda pain that sticks,
Raisin’ hell with old friends, tryin’ to forget her kiss.
(Verse 2)
Truck’s in the driveway, radio playin’ our song,
Turn it up loud, but it don’t last long.
Beer cans pilin’ up like the lies she told,
Summer nights turnin’ cold, feelin’ way too old.
Wished on a shootin’ star, but it fell too fast,
Now I’m holdin’ on to nothin’, livin’ in the past.
(Pre-Chorus)
Don’t wanna see her truck parked downtown,
Just wanna keep drivin’, never turn around.
(Chorus)
Gimme that small town heartbreak, pour it on the rocks,
Whiskey burnin’ slow, tickin’ like a clock.
She’s dancin’ in some bar with a new guy’s grin,
While I’m out here wonderin’ where it all went wrong again.
Yeah, small town heartbreak, it’s the kinda pain that sticks,
Raisin’ hell with old friends, tryin’ to forget her kiss.
(Bridge)
One day I’ll wake up, dust off these boots,
Find a girl who stays, plant some deeper roots.
But tonight I’m broken, lost in the neon glow,
Small town boy with a heart that’s runnin’ low.
(Chorus - Outro)
Gimme that small town heartbreak, one last shot tonight,
Whiskey fades the edges, makes it feel alright.
She’s gone for good, but I’ll be just fine,
With a cold one in my hand, leavin’ her behind.
Yeah, small town heartbreak… fades with time.
