My father takes the whiskey from my hands
He says "You just can't go and live your life this way"
"And son, I know you, you must really miss Maria
But I've been down that road, you can't do the same"
So bury me in roses and cigar smoke
And write some pretty words for me to speak
Play it on a tape to feel nostalgic for the wake
And watch a flame die down before its peak
'Cause now she's gone
She's gone
She's gone
And I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on
She's gone
She's gone
She's gone
And I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on
A smoke trail
A girl who used to love me
It's a song that I can't quite figure out
And on a six string
Your name just fumbles out my mouth
I'll pray for rainy days to end this drought
He bums a cigarette beneath a streetlight
And tells me that he thinks she'll come around
Well I still have her letter neatly tethered, tucked away
I've learned to keep my hopes close to the ground
She wrote so long
And take care
My love
She wrote so long
And take care
My love
She wrote so long
And take care
My love
She wrote so long
And take care
My love
And dad, I don't want an apology
Or to make up for time we've missed
'Cause the empty chair across my own
Never hurt as much as this
So if you'd leave me like I'm used to
I'd slip silently right on by
Just like she did
When this town lost those wild eyes
