lyrics

Headed out to Phoenix. Driving all day.
With a true love there beside me
to see a band from Memphis play.
It was Phoenix where she’d grown up
and how the summers burned
I could see her youth and beauty
and hard lessons learned
We rolled up to the house where she’d slept so many years
Met three generations of her family.
Didn’t find a single thing to fear.
Held her close at Crescent Ballroom. It was Valentine’s Day.
As the ecstasy kicked in the band began to play.
Felt so proud to stand beside her.
Wished we’d never have to go.
Took her picture with the singer outside after the show.
At her sweet sister’s apartment I could see she was afraid
As the tears filled up her eyes
I learned my faith had been misplaced.
That was one thing that I did not see coming till it
buried me alive.
That road trip was just a long kiss goodbye.
Another reason to cry.
Well I’ve been shown that long kiss goodbye
by a few women before
It’s a cruel form of kindness when she
don’t know how to say
That she knows she’s leaving something good.
Just not good enough to stay.
It was a long drive back across the desert.
She requested “no sad songs.”
But she could not keep from crying.
I just focused on the long road.
We both knew this was the comedown.
Nothing’s ever what it seems.
Stopped for ice cream, it tasted so cool.
It still melted like our dream.
I sit alone in my apartment.
Hard steel above my knees.
Now there ain’t much left but memories
and nights like these.
