MUSIC FOR SALE

[Verse 1]
We went out in my boots
Girls in the front seat
Couple lemon-drop laughs
And a whole lotta “she’s cheap”

I turned that corner home
Saw his truck in the dark
His shadow on the wall
And a handprint on my heart

[Pre-Chorus]
I kicked off my heels
Picked up my pride
He heard that screen door slam
Like a storm rolling wide

I said, “Boy, you’re done”
As I watched him freeze
Then I took my name
Right off his sleeve

[Chorus]
Everything but his name
Gone by dawn
Everything but his name
Blew right on
I left the keys
And the house came clean
Everything but his name
Was mine to keep

[Verse 2]
I took my grandma’s plate
From the top shelf rack
My denim jacket too
And the ring he gave back

The dog got my truck
The photo got the flame
I left his lucky coin
And I left his shame

[Pre-Chorus]
He stood in the hall
Talking all slick
But I’d heard enough
I don’t need that trick

I said, “You made your bed
Now lie in it”
Then I walked out slow
And I meant every bit

[Chorus]
Everything but his name
Gone by dawn
Everything but his name
Blew right on
I left the keys
And the house came clean
Everything but his name
Was mine to keep

[Bridge]
One last look at the porch
One last line in the dust
That driveway held my tears
Till it turned into rust

He can keep that name
Like a stain in the rain
I got the girls, got my life
And a whole lot less pain

[Final Chorus]
Everything but his name
Gone by dawn
Everything but his name
Blew right on
I left the keys
And the house came clean
Everything but his name
Was mine to keep

Everything but his name
In the rearview glow
Everything but his name
Watch me go
I drove that driveway
Like I knew I’d win
Everything but his name
I took from him
