Gasoline on a Goodbye

You pulled up late in that busted-up Ford

Boot on the gas like you’re running from the Lord

Said

“Climb on in

We’ll outrun this town”

Same tired story

Just a different sound

You’re gasoline on a goodbye

One small spark and it all flies

Every kiss feels like a match to a fuse

Burns me up

Leaves me black and blue

Yeah

You light me

Then you drive by

You’re gasoline on a goodbye

(oh, goodbye)

Barstool promises

Neon on your face

You swear this time you’re gonna stay

But your hands shake when you hold mine

I smell the leaving in your pickup line

You’re gasoline on a goodbye

One small spark and it all flies

Every kiss feels like a match to a fuse

Burns me up

Leaves me black and blue

Yeah

You light me

Then you drive by

You’re gasoline on a goodbye

(on a goodbye)

I need steady

You stay ready

To slam that door and tear up the drive

I want a forever

You love the pressure

Of almost staying

Then changing your mind

(yeah)

You’re gasoline on a goodbye

One small spark and it all flies

Every kiss feels like a match to a fuse

Burns me up

Leaves me black and blue

Yeah

You light me

Then you drive by

Watch me fade in your rearview sky

You’re gasoline on a goodbye

Gasoline on a goodbye
