  • We had a plan, move out of this town, baby
    West to the sand, it's all we talked about lately
    I'd pack the car, bring your guitar and Jane for smokin'
    First thing at dawn you'd cue the songs and we'd get goin'
    But you weren't home, waited on the porch for ya
    Sat there alone, all throughout the morn 'til I
    Got a hunch, down in my gut and snuck around the back
    Empty cans and I'll be damned, your shit was never packed

    Did your boots stop workin'?
    Did your truck break down? (Truck break down)
    Did you burn through money?
    Did your ex find out? (Ex find out)
    Where there's a will, then there's a way
    And I'm damn sure you lost it
    Didn't even say goodbye
    Just wish I knew what caused it
    Was the whiskey flowin'?
    Were you in a fight? (In a fight)
    Did the nerves come get you?
    What's your alibi? (Alibi)
    I made my way back to LA
    And that's where you'll be forgotten
    In forty years you'll still be here
    Drunk, washed up in Austin

    A hell of bluff you had me believin'
    How many months did you plan on leavin'?
    What happened? Bad habits?
    Did you go back? Go batshit?
    I loved you, how tragic ohh-oh

    Did your boots stop workin'?
    Did your truck break down? (Truck break down)
    Did you burn through money?
    Did your ex find out? (Ex find out)
    Where there's a will, then there's a way
    And I'm damn sure you lost it
    Didn't even say goodbye
    Just wish I knew what caused it
    Was the whiskey flowin'?
    Were you in a fight? (In a fight)
    Did the nerves come get you?
    What's your alibi? (Alibi)
    I made my way back to LA
    And that's where you'll be forgotten
    In forty years you'll still be here
    Drunk, washed up in Austin

    Did your truck break down?
    Did you ex find out? Writer/s: Adam Wendler, Anna Novotny, Cheyenne Arnspiger, Kenneth Heidelman
