Song Description

He's watching her drive away and he's relieved.

Lyrics

Thank God That Girl Is Gone
VS
She couldn't wait to get away,
Away from this town, away from me.
She threw her suitcase in a Chevrolet
Not one teardrop, none she let me see.
Told me she was bored,
And I'm not the thrill she thought I'd be.
Said she wanted more,
More out of life than she got from me.

CH
I watched her red tail lights
Disappear on a Monday night
Down the highway, out of sight,
Praying she won't come back home.
Burned into my memory
Are the loving things she said to me
That she didn't really mean,
I'm grateful she moved on,
Thank God that girl is gone.

VS
Maybe I was wrong
To bring a city girl to this red-dirt town.
She never tried to get along
With my friends and family,
She just shut them down.
I oughta feel sad, but I don't,
It hurt, but now I'm better.
Would I take her back? Hell no, I won't,
She'll burn me again if I let her.

CH
So I watched her red tail lights
Disappear on a Monday night
Down the highway, out of sight.
Praying she won't come back home.
Now I know she never meant
All those loving notes she sent.
Thrown out in the trash they went.
I'm better off alone,
Thank God that girl is gone.

TAG
This town won't miss her much,
They'll laugh and say I screwed it up
And I'm the fool she never loved.
I loved her way too long,
Thank God that girl is gone.
Thank God she's gone,
Lucky me, that girl is gone.
