Lyrics
Driving down a goodbye roadScanning through the radio‘Cause misery loves companyAnd here I am aloneDying for some steel guitarAnd to hear somebody falling apartTo share my pain but it sounds the sameOn every station in this carNobody’s singing ’bout love gone wrongOr being as lonely as the night is longI like a party in a truckEvery bit as much as the next guyBut come on (come on) she’s goneAnd sometimes you need a heartbreak songSome words to help me fight back tearsWould sure be music to my earsAll this dancing around with the tailgate downIt ain’t what I need to hearNobody’s singing ’bout love gone wrongOr being as lonely as the night is longI like a party in a truckEvery bit as much as the next guyBut come on (come on) she’s gone (she’s gone)And sometimes you need a heartbreak songYeah, she looks so good in the bonfire lightBallcap and blue jeans on hot summer nightsThese feel good songs don’t feel rightSince she’s goneNobody’s singing ’bout love gone wrongOr being as lonely as the night is longI like a party in a truckEvery bit as much as the next guyBut come on (come on) baby’s gone (she’s gone)And sometimes you need a heartbreak songSometimes you need a heartbreak song
