Lyrics

He took the stage in Cincinnati now she’s gone
He rode a bus to Nashville now she’s gone, gone, gone
He played a song for her in Baltimore
She doesn’t want to hear anymore she’s gone

His mama said this would be easier if he moved on
He’s moving on
His friends all said be strong, what does it mean
to be strong
In the face of a love that’s gone?

He took the stage in Cincinnati now she’s gone
He rode a bus to Nashville now she’s gone, gone, gone
He played a song for her in Baltimore
She doesn’t want to hear anymore she’s gone

He nearly forgot (in his guitar case) that he kept a photograph (of her face)
And how she was leaning against his car.
And how she forgave him a hundred times
but he was chasing a spotless mind
And he pushed too far
And the fault isn’t in their stars

He took the stage in Cincinnati now she’s gone
He rode a bus to Nashville now she’s gone, gone, gone
He played a song for her in Baltimore
She doesn’t want to hear anymore now she’s gone

He took a trip to anywhere
He took a trip to anywhere else
He took a trip to anywhere else now he’s gone
