Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I folded that last flannel
Left your key on the counter
Dog’s ridin’ shotgun, back seat’s
Just a pile of shirts and doubt
Sun’s barely over the silo
Tank’s half full, heart’s run out
You keep callin’ what I’m doin’
“Coolin’ off” like I’ll turn around
[Chorus]
But gone means gone
This tailgate’s not droppin’ back in your driveway
This old map’s drawn
All the roads run anywhere but your way
You’ll stand on that porch ‘til the porch light’s on
But gone means gone
Yeah, gone means gone
[Verse 2]
Your mama’s voice on the speaker
Says “she’s sorry, just come home”
I can hear you in the background
Ask if that was me or a dial tone
I pass that rusted-out mailbox
Where we carved our names in June
I don’t slow, I don’t signal
I just whisper, “girl, that boy’s through”
[Chorus]
‘Cause gone means gone
This tailgate’s not droppin’ back in your driveway
This old map’s drawn
All the roads run anywhere but your way
You’ll stand on that porch ‘til the porch light’s on
But gone means gone
Yeah, gone means gone
[Bridge]
You taught me how to leave
Every time you walked away
I learned a little deeper
How not to beg you to stay
Now you’re the one that’s reachin’
But that lesson finally stuck
You can cry into that kitchen light
I’m done runnin’ on your luck (oh)
[Chorus]
Yeah, gone means gone
This tailgate’s not droppin’ back in your driveway
This old map’s drawn
All the roads run anywhere but your way
You’ll stand on that porch ‘til the hope wears off
Keep waitin’ on a brake light that never stops
Gone means gone
Yeah, gone means gone

Style
country, Warm modern country ballad with male vocals, gentle fingerpicked acoustic over soft pads and brushed drums. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; chorus swells with steel guitar swirls and low harmonies. Subtle organ on the bridge, final chorus drops to nearly solo vocal then blooms on the last line.
