(Modern Country – ~88 BPM, Key of E Major) [Verse 1] Don't you remember what I said the last time you left, When I said, “Don’t think about comin’ back”? You slammed that door like it meant goodbye, But I’ve heard that echo a thousand times. [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I swore I was done with your kind of wrong, But here you are, drivin’ back where you don’t belong. [Chorus] She don’t stay gone for long, She’s a ghost with a lipstick song. One text, one call, and here she comes — Kickin’ up dust like nothin’s wrong. I can cuss her name, but before too long, She don’t stay gone for long. [Verse 2] It’s the same old dance in different boots, She says she’s changed, but I know the truth. Ain’t no cure for what she’s got, Love like hers just ties a knot. [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I know the drill when the headlights turn, That lesson’s one I’ll never learn. [Chorus] She don’t stay gone for long, She’s a ghost with a lipstick song. One text, one call, and here she comes — Kickin’ up dust like nothin’s wrong. I can cuss her name, but before too long, She don’t stay gone for long. [Bridge] Every goodbye’s just a rest stop sign, She circles back every damn time. [Final Chorus / Outro] She don’t stay gone for long, And I ain’t strong enough to move on. Yeah, I swore her memory wouldn’t hang on — But she don’t stay gone for long.
