Lyrics
That Girl We Drove Away
Jim Paquette 4/7/05
Verse:
She had some points to talk about
something wasn?t right
I said that?s fine some other time
But not on poker night
Then I tried to shut her up
By giving her a kiss
I never thought ignoring her
Would ever lead to this
CHORUS:
She got out of my life
She got into his car
No way of knowing
How far away they are
By the time I came to my senses
It was much too late
That guy who wasn?t me
And that girl we drove away
VERSE:
He had a small cubicle
Right there next to hers
She talked about her fights with me
And he hung on ever word
I recall her telling me
He used to make her smile
I could have seen the warning signs
By listening once and a while
(CHORUS)
I?m burning bridges and he's burning rubber
You?d have to be a fool not to love her
