When They're Gone (Lyle County) Lyrics - Little Big Town

1 Look at that worn out rusty engine

2 Sitting there begging for a spark

3 Don't look like much in that condition

4 But there was a time you should've seen her run

5 Down every back road in Lyle County

6 Under every streetlight up on Main

7 You sitting there drumming on a dashboard

8 Both of us falling like a fickle rain

9 We were

10 Cooler than December, hotter than July

11 Young and strong

12 Some things aren't meant to last forever

13 But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone, so come on

14 She had hair tangled as the kudzu

15 Legs as long as the trails that cut through

16 Those back acres to the river bend

17 She had her daddy's temper and her momma's flair

18 Made people talk but did not care

19 Try anything once ain't scared of nothing

20 Yeah, we were

21 Cooler than December, hotter than July

22 Young and strong

23 Some things aren't meant to last forever

24 But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone, so come on

25 Come on

26 Don't mean you forget 'em

27 I still ride down those old roads

28 Even if it's in my mind

29 Tight blue jeans and winding curves

30 Keep me turning on a dime, yeah, just like the time

31 When we were

32 Cooler than December, hotter than July

33 Young and strong

34 Some things aren't meant to last forever

35 But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone

36 Oh, we were

37 Cooler than December, hotter than July

38 Young and strong

39 Some things aren't meant to last forever

40 But that don't mean you forget 'em when they're

41 Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone, so come on

42 Come on

43 Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone

44 So come on, come on

45 Don't mean you forget 'em when they're gone

46 So come on, come on

47 So come on, come on
