Gasoline on a Goodbye

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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)
[Bridge]
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)
[Chorus]
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

rock, Modern country-rock crossover with female vocals; twangy electric guitars over steady drums, warm bass locked to a stomp-clap groove. Verses stay tight and conversational with lightly overdriven Telecaster fills; chorus explodes with stacked harmonies and a soaring lead. Bridge strips back to vocal and kick before a final, bigger chorus with ad-lib runs and a guitar lick answering the hook., country
