[Verse]
Torn boots on gravel, heart in the dirt
Your name’s still carved in my T-shirt
Whiskey bottle hollow, but I’m still full of hurt
Thought we were fire, guess I’m just burnt
[Chorus]
Why’d you leave me for him?
Trading gold for a glimmer dim
Was it the shine or the grin?
Why’d you leave me for him?
Why’d you leave me for him?
[Verse 2]
Pistol sun sinking, shadow rides tall
My chest’s a saloon, empty from it all
Memories keep punchin’, whiskey takes the fall
Your voice’s an echo in a ghost town hall
[Prechorus]
Cowboy hat tipped low, thoughts too loud to spin
How you take my world and leave it thin?
[Chorus]
Why’d you leave me for him?
Trading gold for a glimmer dim
Was it the shine or the grin?
Why’d you leave me for him?
Why’d you leave me for him?
[Bridge]
Riding fences in my head, no peace to find
Love’s a lasso, and you left me tied
Thunder in my veins, tears in the sky
Still chasing the question, never gettin’ why
