[Verse 1]
I met her down by the old oak tree,
She smiled, and it was like she'd set me free.
A cigarette dangled from her hand,
She laughed and said, "You wouldn't understand."
[Prechorus]
But her voice was a song, soft and low,
Like the wind through the pines, a sound I’d never known.
[Chorus]
She was never mine, not even close,
But she lit a fire where the cold wind blows.
Now she’s gone, left with a goodbye,
And all I do is drink, watch the nights go by.
[Verse 2]
She had eyes like bourbon, dark and deep,
And a heart that no man could ever keep.
She kissed me once, like a fleeting sin,
Then vanished like smoke, gone with the wind.
[Prechorus]
I chase her ghost in every bar,
But the whiskey and the pills don’t take me far.
[Chorus]
She was never mine, not even close,
But she lit a fire where the cold wind blows.
Now she’s gone, left with a goodbye,
And all I do is drink, watch the nights go by.
