I Let A Keeper Get Away

I pulled to the side of the interstate
I just couldn't go on
I've been chasing the morning like some young fool
Living out an old song
How on earth could I lose you like this
Now you're with Heaven knows who
And I'm halfway to Georgia with a car full of memories of you

I let a keeper get away
How could I have been so blind
I let a keeper get away
There's only one one of a kind
I didn't know just what we had
But this time I've really messed up bad
Now I guess I've gotta pay
I let a keeper get away

Found a picture of us underneath my seat
Looking for my red flashlight
It was taken last summer at your mama's place
Holding each other real tight
I just don't need reminders like that
Cluttering up my car
So I'll just put it in my pocket and keep it right next to my heart

I let a keeper get away
How could I have been so blind
I let a keeper get away
There's only one one of a kind
I didn't know just what we had
But this time I've really messed up bad
Now I guess I've gotta pay
I let a keeper get away

I didn't know just what we had
But this time I've really messed up bad
Now I guess I've gotta pay
I let a keeper get away
