Long Lost Smile

She squeezed the handle, topped the tank off

Pulled out her necklace and kissed the cross

El Paso, he waved horizon off the hood

She's going through with something he never thought she would

By now he's rollin' over on his back

He ain't wakin' up, not with all the liquors he's had

She'll be halfway to Long-view by the time he starts to stir

By the time he opens his eyes she'll already be a blur

You go girl, get in that Cadillac

There ain't no lie in looking back

She tore outta that station, dust and gravel flying

Sideswiped a couple of highway signs

Tore off both mirrors, something free and wild

Yeah, seems like ages but there's that smile

That long lost smile

Staring through the windshield, a new look in her eyes

A conscience as clear as the Texas sky

She ran out of patience, out of strength and out of tears

He ran out of second chances and now she's outta here

You go girl, don't look back

And there ain't no lie in living like that

She tore outta that station, dust and gravel flying

Sideswiped a couple of highway signs

Tore off both mirrors, something free and wild

Yeah, seems like ages but there's that smile

That long lost smile, that long lost smile

Yeah, you go girl, you go girl

Hey, you go girl, you go girl
