Lyrics
I’ve sent a dozen text and I ain’t heard jack
I guess she’s busy playing hard to get back
So I bought her roses and her favorite wine
Thinking we’d be making up in no time
But I’m parked out here on her street
Looks like the joke’s on me
Sitting here, I can’t believe what I just saw
Couple shadows kissing on her bedroom wall
It’s looking like my plan didn’t work out at all
Heartbreak turned into broke up
So now I’m finding out how a heartbreak taste
With a Silver Oak, 1998
Drinking cab in a solo
Solo in the cab of my truck
Yeah, I thought about taking it back to the store
‘Cause it’s the nicest bottle that I ever paid for
But then again, if I had that money back
I’d just find a bar and go run up a tab
I could go for a whiskey, I could go for a beer
But hell, I’m already here
Sitting here, I can’t believe what I just saw
Couple shadows kissing on her bedroom wall
It’s looking like my plan didn’t work out at all
Heartbreak turned into broke up
So now I’m finding out how a heartbreak taste
With a Silver Oak, 1998
Drinking cab in a solo
Solo in the cab of my truck
She just turned out the lights
Guess she meant it when she said goodbye
Man, I swear, I can’t believe what I just saw
Couple shadows kissing on her bedroom wall
It’s looking like my plan didn’t work out at all
That break turned into broke up
So now I’m finding out how a heartbreak taste
With a Silver Oak, 1998
Drinking cab in a solo
Solo in the cab of my truck
Yeah, I’m drinking cab in a solo
Solo in the cab of my truck
