Four Good Years

On some highway past some small town
Somewhere cutting through the middle of the night
There's a girl in a car with a crack in her heart and a one-way tear in her eye
Couldn't fake it or take it anymore, she finally gave up trying to save him
Now, she's moving on, rolling on the same damn thing she gave him
'Cause she gave him

Four good years, 3 a.m., two-lane gone
One girl that ain't looking back again
Windows down, heartbreak song
Burnin' up the black top ground that they're spinning on, spinning on
Wheeling and dealing with the feelings
Like she's stealin' back time that all went to waste
Yeah, when the tread wears away
Well, she knows she can change those tires
But she can't replace four good years, yeah

Just a runaway '98, hand me down Chevrolet Coupe that she got from her dad
Yeah, he always made sure they were safe
Even they weren't losing air with a spare in the back
And he prayed that this day'd never come (never come)
But if it did, his little girl'd be running on

Four good years, 3 a.m., two-lane gone
One girl that ain't looking back again
Windows down, heartbreak song
Burnin' up the black top ground that they're spinning on, spinning on
Wheeling and dealing with the feelings
Like she's stealin' back time that all went to waste
Yeah, when the tread wears away
Well, she knows she can change those tires
But she can't replace four good years, yeah, four good years
Four good years

She loved him so good, so damn good
But he just didn't know how to
She did everything she could, everything she could
And now, she's doing what she's gotta do

On four good years, 3 a.m., two-lane gone
One girl that ain't looking back again
Windows down, heartbreak song
Burnin' up the black top ground that they're spinning on, spinning on
Wheeling and dealing with the feelings
Like she's stealin' back time that all went to waste
Yeah, when the tread wears away
Well, she knows she can change those tires
But she can't replace four good years (four good years)
Four good years (yeah, four good years)

On some highway past some small town
Somewhere cutting through the middle of the night
