Lyric Nothin But Taillights

(Bob DiPiero/Gerry House/Devon O Day)

She used to sit in the passenger seat
Tappin on the dash with her bare feet
Poppin that gum and paintin her toenails blue
She d turn on the radio and crank it up
That girl could never get it loud enough
She d make up words to songs she thought she knew

Yeah saturday nights we d lead the parade
Of tricked out Fords and Chevrolets
We d cruise through town and head down to the lake
Well I was hangin with the boys a little bit later
Talkin bout tires and carburetors
When I happened to see my whole world drive away

Now I ve got nothin but taillights
Nothin but goodbye
Nothin but leavin goin on
And I m nothin but sorry
Got nothin but memories
She s nothin but taillights gone

I ain t sayin she stole that car
But that was May and this is March
And all I get are tickets in the mail
She was doin eighty-five in Tennessee
Clocked in Kansas doin ninety-three
I just hope she lets me post her bail

Cause I ve got nothin but taillights
Nothin but goodbye
Nothin but leavin goin on
And I m nothin but sorry
Got nothin but memories
She s nothin but taillights gone...come back baby

I ve got nothin but taillights
Nothin but goodbye
Nothin but leavin goin on
And I m nothin but sorry
Got nothin but memories
She s nothin but taillights gone

Lord she s nothin but taillights gone
