(Intro)
(Soft, ominous acoustic guitar strumming)
Screen goes black...Here we go again.
(Heavy drum beat kicks in)
(Verse 1)
Pulled in the driveway with that crooked smile Said he just wanted to hold his kid a while But he’s looking past me, scanning the room Checking his phone, took my peace, took a piece of my bed Left a crying baby and a mess in my head
(Chorus)
Oh, there he goes againLike he's Kansas, he's gone with the wind Left a trail of smoke where his boots have been Turned his phone to black, ghosting out on his kin Yeah, he's a midnight runner, a sunset ghost Taking what he wants when he needs it the most Oh, there he goes again Like he's Kansas, he's gone with the wind
(Verse 2)
Now I’m rocking our baby in the quiet dark Looking at the shadows that he left on my heart, Used to pray for the ring, used to beg him to stay Now I pray for the strength to keep him away He thinks he can always just breeze right back in But I locked up the house he ain't breaking again
(Bridge)
He can change his number, he can run from the truth But his eyes are still looking at me in the crib across the room I’m done crying over empty promises and unread texts He’s just a storm that I survived, and I’m figuring out what’s next
(Guitar Solo)
[Aggressive, heavy modern country guitar solo with a bitter, triumphant edge]
(Chorus)
Oh, there he goes again Like he's Kansas, he's gone with the wind Left a trail of smoke where his boots have been Turned his phone to black, ghosting out on his kin Yeah, he's a midnight runner, a sunset ghost Taking what he wants when he needs it the most Oh, there he goes again Like he's Kansas, he's gone with the wind
(Outro)
Let that screen stay black Yeah, don't look back You’re gone with the wind Never coming back in Look at our baby sleeping sound You ain't tearing this house down Just like Kansas Gone Yeah, you're gone, blow away with the wind oh yeahhhhh -eaaahhhh
