I Let a Keeper Get Away

I pulled to the side of the Interstate

I just couldn't go on

I'd been chasing the morning like some young fool

Living out an old song

How on earth could I lose you like this

Now you're with heaven knows who

And I'm halfway to Georgia

With a car full of mem'ries of you

I let a keeper get away

How could I been so blind

I let a keeper get away

There's only one one of a kind

I didn't know just what we had

But this time I really messed up bad

Now I guess I gotta pay

I let a keeper get away

Found a picture of us underneath my seat

Looking for my red flashlight

It was taken last summer at your momma's place

Holding each other real tight

I just don't need reminders like that

Clutterin' up my heart

So I'll just put it in my pocket

And keep it right next to my heart

I let a keeper get away

How could I been so blind

I let a keeper get away

There's only one one of a kind

I didn't know just what we had

But this time I really messed up bad

Now I guess I gotta pay

I let a keeper get away

I didn't know just what we had

But this time I really messed up bad

Now I guess I gotta pay

I let a keeper get away
