[Intro: ]C
C Cmaj7
Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
Am
Took you home set you on the counter
Cmaj7
Oh at least a time or two
C
Maybe she'd thought it through.
C Cmaj7
Yellow sunset slowly dipping down in the rear view
Am
Oh how she'd love to sit and watch you
Cmaj7
I could have done that a whole lot more
G
If I hadn't been so stubborn been so selfish
F
Thought about her more thought about me less
G
Joked and made her laugh held her when she cried
F G
A little more that maybe I wouldn't be
{Chorus}
C Cmaj7
Driving like hell flying like crazy down the highway
Am
Calling everyone we know stopping any place she might be
Cmaj7 C
Going any place she might go beating on the dash
Cmaj7 Am
Screaming out her name at the windshield tears soaking up my face
Cmaj7 F G
If I had loved her this much all along maybe maybe yeah maybe
C Cmaj7 Am Cmaj7
She wouldn't be gone she wouldn't be gone
C Cmaj7
She warned me it was coming said if I didn't change she was leaving
Am
I just didn't believe
Cmaj7
She would ever really walk out
C
God I believe her now
Cmaj7
Called her mama cried like a baby to her best friend
Am
If they've seen her they ain't sayin
Cmaj7
They ain't sayin
G
Now I'm cursing like a fool praying it ain't too late
F
All I wanna do is fix my mistakes
G
Find her beg her for one more try
F G
Until then damn it I'll be
{Chorus}
C Cmaj7
Red roadside wild flower if I'd only picked you
Am Cmaj7
Took you home set you on the counter oh at least a time or two
C
Maybe she'd thought it through
