[Verse 1] You said “baby, stay” Then slammed the screen Left your truck in my drive Like a bad damn dream I kept your key In the sugar bowl You kept my nerves On a bent-up pole [Pre-Chorus] I was matchin’ your fire With a wet match hand You kept movin’ the fence Then blamed my land Heard that warning in me Too late, too late I was lovin’ a storm At the county gate [Chorus] Goodbye, red dirt Goodbye, truth You wore me out Like busted boots Goodbye, red dirt I’m through with you I loved too hard Now I’m leavin’ you [Verse 2] Your sorrys came With a shiny grin Next thing I knew We were back in it again Your sweet talk hit Like a thorny vine Pretty on the surface Mean in the spine You’d break my peace Then call me cold Set my heart on fire Just to watch it roll I kept waitin’ on The man you sold But all I found Was a mouth of smoke [Pre-Chorus] I was matchin’ your fire With a wet match hand You kept movin’ the fence Then blamed my land Heard that warning in me Too late, too late I was lovin’ a storm At the county gate [Chorus] Goodbye, red dirt Goodbye, truth You wore me out Like busted boots Goodbye, red dirt I’m through with you I loved too hard Now I’m leavin’ you [Bridge] Now the porch light’s mine And the dog don’t flinch I can hear my own thoughts For the first time in years Your name don’t burn Like it used to do I’m takin’ back my Friday And my peace from you [Final Chorus] Goodbye, red dirt Goodbye, truth You wore me out Like busted boots Goodbye, red dirt I’m through with you I loved too hard Now I’m leavin’ you Goodbye, red dirt Goodbye, you I found my feet And they don’t need you
