Lyrics

First thing I did today
Called you on the phone
Said "Babe, I've found a way
We can be alone"
Thank god for summer days
Folks aren't coming home
We'll have some time to play
Then I'll make you come and

Pick me up
Take you for a ride
Be in love
Til the day we die
Left me here
Stranded high and dry
Keep on going without you
Keep on going without you

I'm not the only guy
Who saw your backside
Probably not the first
Didn't even cry
Can't seem to slake this thirst
Whole damn bar is dry
So I will say a curse and
Hope to see you die and

Drop me off
Go for one last drive
Be alone
Til the day I die
Leave us here
No more you and I
Keep on going without you
Keep on going without you

One thing that I have learned
There won't be just one
It don't feel good being hurt
Can't get any worse
You'll see that I have won
All the pain you've earned
Soon it will be your turn
Now I'm so far gone and

Start again
I won't run and hide
Be alone
Til the day you die
Leave you here
No Miss American Pie
Keep on going without you
Keep on going without you
I won't die without you
Keep on living without you
