about
part my project to write one song a week. i wanted to try a pop country song. i don't listen to pop country music. writing this was like solving a puzzle.
lyrics
the sun's coming down and so are the tailgates
circling round, jamming to george strait
no matter what the weather is you know we're gonna start us a fire
well i see your face in the black smoke rising
and i say goodbye to those pretty blue eyes
and i look around at all my friends who always been right by my side
it's a saturday night so you know it's about to get rough
hanging with the boys and we're sipping on the good stuff
and i don't care if you're here or there
all those saturday nights spent sitting in my pickup
falling in love until you went and messed up
but i don't care
i just sit and stare at the fire dying
well i ain't saying that it didn't hurt
but nothing heals pain like a little dirt
and they got plenty of that laying around here by the fire
when the smoke clears out i see her smile and i say
why don't you come over here and sit awhile and we can
talk about how ashes are the perfect place to start up a fire
(at the fire dying) in my heart since you left me alone
you're the coldest shoulder that i've ever known
but i found a new flame to warm my soul
so i'm putting you out and taking her home
