Verse 1
His bike's rusted, weeds climbin’ through
his old glove barely caught a game or two
Since the day his dad packed up and left
Mom's juggling bills, stretched thin at best
The TV talks to him most afternoons
Spends his days locked up in his room
 knows the shape of that old tailgate
looks for it at night when it's gettin' late

Pre-Chorus
From his upstairs window the world rolls by
Just sits up there wondering why

Chorus
Looks like any other house in town
But inside, the walls are tumblin' down
Fridge is bare, but mama makes do
but bills are stacked up and  overdue
Now he don’t laugh like he did before
That bat and ball ain’t left the back porch floor
Still prayin’ daddy’s truck might roll back around
In the house just two doors down


Verse 2
They passed the plate, called his mama’s name
She said, We'll be fine, thanks all the same
He sat on the steps while the hymn rolled on
Feet scuffin’ concrete ‘til the choir was all done
Now He prays his dad will walk back in
asks god  to tell when he'd see him again
Chorus
looks like any other house in town
But inside, the walls are tumblin’ down
 fridge is bare, but mama makes do
but bills are stacked up and overdue
Now he don’t laugh like he did before
That bat and ball ain’t left the back porch floor
Still prayin’ daddy’s truck might roll back around
In the house just two doors down

Bridge
If I could change his luck, you know I would
Bring him back the man who swore he’d stay for good
But all we can do is be here somehow
For that little boy two doors down

Chorus
looks like any other house in town
But inside, the walls are tumblin' down
 fridge is bare, but mama makes do
but bills are stacked up and overdue
Now he don’t laugh like he did before
That bat and ball ain’t left the back porch floor
Still prayin’ daddy’s truck might roll back around
In the house just two doors down

Just two doors down

[Verse 1]
May cause loss of sleep and excessive late-night driving
A sudden urge to see her no matter what she's hiding
Possible dizziness from the way she says your name
And rare mood swings when she's playing all her games
Increased risk of spending money you don’t have to spend
And a sudden rush of confusion when it comes to and end

________________________________

[Chorus]
She should’ve come with a warning label
Use at your own risk a little unstable
“May cause some reckless nights, and some poor decisions
Temporary highs, long-term conditions”
Yeah, I’d have thought twice ‘fore I took that chance
If she’d had that sticker stuck on the back of her hand
Side effects untreated could be fatal
She should’ve come with a warning label

________________________________

[Verse 2]
Side effects may include loss of pride and appetite
An increased risk of waiting by the phone in the dead of night
Severe dependence on her touch and her perfume
may cause you to clear your life to make her room
And don't mix with whiskey or a George Jones song
’Cause that combination’ll keep you up all night long

________________________________
[Chorus]
She should’ve come with a warning label
Use at your own risk a little unstable
“May cause some reckless nights, and some poor decisions
Temporary highs, long-term conditions”
Yeah, I’d have thought twice ‘fore I took that chance
If she’d had that sticker stuck on the back of her hand
Side effects untreated could be fatal
She should’ve come with a warning label

________________________________

[Bridge]
Ask your bartender if she’s right for you
Before you take a sip and catch that view
IF you ignore the signs it won't be easy to shake
That fever she can give you that no doctor can break

________________________________

[Chorus]
She should’ve come with a warning label
Use at your own risk a little unstable
“May cause some  reckless nights, and some poor decisions
Temporary highs, long-term conditions”
Yeah, I’d have thought twice ‘fore I took that chance
If she’d had that sticker stuck on the back of her hand
Side effects untreated could be fatal
She should’ve come with a warning label

Warning Label

Verse 1
She stopped circlin’ dates on the 'frigerator door
Didn't ask me where i'd been no more
Wasn't wonderin' where this thing might lead,
Packed her life in a bag with the things she’d need.
I kept stayin’ “busy,” like that was fine,
Didn't see it coming no warning signs
Thought we were straight, we were rollin’ through
Never saw the turn she was headed to.
Pre-Chorus (AABB)
We’re cruising all along, I swear we’re locked in,
Counting all the mileage we have  clocked in,
She suddenly hits a turn I don't recognize,
now I realize
Chorus
She had her turn signals on,
One quick turn  now she’s gone,
Set her new course I missed the signs,
Tryin to keep our wheels between the lines
She took a left turn out of nowhere
Tail lights fading into somewhere
I guess I didn’t know where we'd gone wrong
She musta had her turn signals on.
Verse 2
She boxed up the pictures and left the frames,
Erased her name from a few old claims,
Took her coat from the hook by the kitchen wall,
Didn’t leave much of anything here at all.
I kept telling myself it was just a fight,
Turns out she’d been planning for many nights,
I was steering alone, thinking she’d hold tight,
Guess she's moving on to a different life
Pre-Chorus
We’re cruising all along, I swear we’re locked in,
Counting all the mileage we have  clocked in,
She suddenly hits a turn I didn’t recognize,
now I realize
Chorus
She had her turn signals on,
One quick turn   now she’s gone,
Set her new course I missed the signs,
Tryin to keep our wheels between the lines,
She took a left turn out of nowhere,
Tail lights fading into somewhere,
I guess I didn’t see where we had gone wrong,
She musta had her turn signals on.
Bridge
I'd swap every green light for one red stop
To hear her out before she dropped
Should 've held her hands tight on that wheel
Maybe I could have changed the way she feels
Final Chorus
She had her turn signals on,
One quick turn  now she’s gone,
Set her new course I missed the signs,
Tryin to keep our wheels between the lines
She took a left turn out of nowhere
Tail lights fading into somewhere
I guess I didn’t see where we had gone wrong,
She musta had  her turn signals on.

Turn Signals

[[Verse 1]
 A little June rain  hittin' a dashboard crack
Low fuel light, but I ain’t turnin’ back
Drip from the ceiling, coffee gone bad
Split-lip grin from the night I had
Swore I was all done with this two lane town
Thinkin of movin' on I was burnin’ out
Then through the haze of that midnight sky
You cut right through and caught my eye

________________________________

[Pre-Chorus]
I was headed out and halfway gone
Girl that all changed when you came along

________________________________

[Chorus]
’Cause you’re the one I got right
Through the wrong turns and restless nights
I was broken, and  I was blind
Chasin’ shadows I could never find
I Made mistakes that I can't hide
Some hard livin' on some borrowed time
Yeah, I was wrong for over over a thousand wasted nights
But you’re the one I got right

________________________________

[Verse 2]
Four walls closing on a small town dream
Empty mornings with a full head of steam
Stacks of mail by a leaning chair
Boots by the door like they’re goin’ nowhere
Then you walked in and the world stood still
Dropped my map,  for once this  home felt real
Now we're stickin' it out in this small country town
Fixed up the house and now we're settling down

________________________________

[Pre-Chorus]
I was headed out and halfway gone
Girl that all changed when you came along

[Chorus]
’Cause you’re the one I got right
Through the wrong turns and restless nights

Chasin’ shadows I could never find
I made mistakes that i can't hide
Some hard livin' on some borrowed time
Yeah, I was wrong for over a thousand wasted nights
But you’re the one I got right

’Cause you’re the one I got right

Yeah I made  mistakes that I can't hide

Yeah, you’re the one I got right

The one I got right

Verse 1
She grabbed my keys and said she’d finally had enough
Threw her bags in the back, sped out in my old truck
Been circlin’ all the places that we used to go
Askin’ ’round this town, hopin’ somebody knows
Pre-Chorus
Pulled into the Chevron, asked if he'd seen her roll by
He tipped his cap and said, “Alright son—what’s she look
like?”
Chorus
She’s a faded-blue long-bed Chevy C10,
With a 350 small-block from way back when
Sunburnt Braves cap ridin’ on the dashboard
Skynyrd on the dial and some mud on the floorboard
Quarter panel dent from clipping that farm gate
Holley four-barrel breathin' on that V8
Got some  old dog tags swingin’ off the mirror— 
Been lookin' everywhere-
Have you seen her?
Verse 2
He gave me that look like, “ Oh Man, this can’t be easy,”
Said, “Grab a seat—friday nights can get a little busy
I said, “I’m fine,” but my face musta gave me away,
Missin’ her so bad I can’t tell night from day.
Pre-Chorus 2
He said, “Alright—won't you tell me a little about her.
Hair? Eyes? Name? Somethin’ I can remember.”
Chorus - 2
She’s a faded-blue long-bed Chevy C10,
With a 350 small-block from way back when
Sunburnt Braves cap ridin’ on the dashboard
Skynard on the dial and some mud on the floorboard
Quarter panel dent from clipping that farm gate
Holley four-barrel breathin' on that V8
Got some old dog tags hanging on the mirror
Been lookin' everywhere—have you seen her?
Bridge
He set the squeegee down, half-smiled, “Oh man now I
see—
You’re not missin’ her at all; it’s that old truck you need.”
Final Chorus
Yes sir She’s a faded-blue long-bed Chevy C10,
With a 350 small-block from way back when
Sunburnt Braves cap ridin’ on the dashboard
Skynyrd on the dial and some mud on the floorboard
Tell that girl driving she's all in the past
So bring that chevy home, no questions asked
You'd hear that rumble rollin’ past the pumps and curbs—
Been lookin' everywhere—Have you seen her
Tell me have you seen her

Have you seen her - Writer's DEMO

Verse 1
Just got home and found your note
Folded by the coffee can— just three words you wrote
Said “I’ll do better”—truth is, that takes two
We let it ride too long—now I lost you
I’ll take my share—write it plain to see
It wasn’t all you, and it wasn’t all me
Chorus
I could use some forgiveness,
But I ain’t takin’ all the blame.
We tried to fix what broke us,
Kept chasin’ a win that never came.
You know I'm not the only one,
You played your part too
Now I’m only halfway guilty—
The other half is you.
Verse 2
Empty spot on the wall and a busted frame
Calendar stuck on June—every square looks the same
I won’t go tellin’ our good friends what all we’ve been through
I’ll carry my half and leave the rest with you
If this is goodbye, you know I'll always take your call
And I'lll still be that shoulder you might need afterall
Chorus
I could use some forgiveness,
But I ain’t takin’ all the blame.
We tried to fix what broke us,
Kept chasin’ a win that never came.
You know I'm not the only one,
You played your part too
Now I’m only halfway guilty—
The other half is you.
Bridge
We'll let the rain talk for us, and we'll just let it pour
Hope you find the peace you're lookin' for
Final Chorus
I could use some forgiveness,
But I can't take all the blame.
We tried to fix what broke us,
Kept chasin’ a win that never came.
You know I'm not the only one,
You played your part too
Now I’m only halfway guilty—
And baby, so are you.

Halfway Guilty

I guess I crossed her last red line
She boxed up what was hers, left what was mine
Change-of-address card curled up by the sink
We swore we'd last forever—or so we used to think
Pre-Chorus 
Outside the street's a buzzin' the mornin' grind
Inside forever has officially flatlined
Chorus 
Now she’s as good as gone
She kicked up the dust  never lookin' back
Her taillights met the dawn
No she aint never coming back
The sunrise came like it always does
 just like god intended
Shining down on what once was 
On the day forever ended
Verse 2 (AABBCC)
This one hit different, won't forget the date
Marked on the calendar—  february 8th
One step ahead,  forwarding notice on the lock
She was the good in me - and was my steady rock
But she loaded up  in the dark gone by the break of day
That’s how forever ends just pack it up and drive away
Chorus (repeat)
Now she’s as good as gone
She kicked up the dust never lookin' back
Her taillights met the dawn
No She aint never  coming back
The sunrise came like it always does
 just like god intended
Shining down on what once was 
On the day forever ended
Bridge
Can't bargain with the truth no matter how hard we try
Forever has a stamp on it,  a date we can't deny
Chorus (repeat)
Now she’s as good as gone
She kicked up the dust never lookin' back
Her taillights met the dawn
No She aint never  coming back
The sunrise came like it always does
 just like god intended
Shining down on what once was 
On the day forever ended

The Day Forever Ended

Verse 1
Final notice on the counter
Truck note three weeks late
Didn’t know how much longer
I could carry all that weight
Gas light blinkin' orange, payday miles away, 
I asked god if he could help me, just lead me on my way

Pre-Chorus
All along I had a hand I couldn't see
With me all along and guiding me
Chorus
I didn’t see it then
The way I see it now
I thought I walked alone
Prayin' someday I'd be found
Then some closed doors began to open
Always felt they were set in stone
What I didn’t know then
I was never on my own

Verse 2
Now I've got Little boots in the gravel
“Daddy!” yelling down the drive
Porch light cuts through the shadow
Man, it feels so good to be alive
I still feel the hand that saved me
In everything I do
So every night I lay down
I give thanks for pulling me through

Pre-Chorus
But looking back there's only one simple truth
I had a  steady hand I couldn't see, pulling me through

Chorus
I didn’t see it then
The way I see it now
I thought I walked alone
Prayin' someday I'd be found
And then  closed doors began to open
Always felt they were set in stone
What I didn’t know then
 I was never on my own

Bridge
Every mile I cursed was leading me back home
Every night I swore I carried it alone
But grace was right beside me even when it wasn’t shown
I didn’t see it then, but I was never on my own

I didn’t see it then
The way I see it now
I thought I walked alone
Prayin' someday I'd be found
Then some closed doors began to open
Always felt they were set in stone
What I didn’t know then
 I was never on my own

Never on my own
