You Ain’t Gone Enough

ABOUT THIS SONG

She packed up and rolled out, and it still is not far enough.

LYRICS

You came home smelling like bad decisions With a bar stamp on your wrist
Said, baby, this ain't what it looks like I said, girl, that's a load of mess
You started talking in circles Like I was dumb enough to trust
So save that sugar-coated story And throw it in your truck

Take your shoes, take your clothes Take that dollar store perfume
Take those lashes, painted face Girl, you look like a Looney Tune
You ain't gone enough Get your tail on outta here
Take every box of your crappy lies And your fake blonde hair

I don't give a flying truck's out front So load it up, girl, you're out of my house
But you ain't gone enough You packed your things, you broke my trust
Now take your sorry attitude And pile it in the truck
You're out of my house, but here's the thing Buttercup, till I forget I ever met you

You ain't gone enough Gone, girl, but you ain't gone enough
Your best friend called me crying Said, man, just give that girl a pass
I said, with all respect to you She can kiss my big mouth bass
I changed the locks by lunchtime Set her makeup on the curb

And told that smooth-talking side piece He can have her every word
Take your bags, take your heels Take that stank perfume, too
Take the couch you love so much And every excuse you use
You ain't gone enough Get your tail on outta here

Take every box of your crappy lies And your fake blonde hair
I don't give a flying truck's out front So load it up, girl, you're out of my house
But you ain't gone enough You packed your things, you broke my trust
Now take your sorry attitude And pile it in the truck

You're out of my house, but here's the thing Buttercup, till I forget I ever met you
You ain't gone enough
Mama always told me watch the ones that smile the sweetest
Said, the prettiest kind of trouble is the hardest kind to beat it

I aired this whole house at four a.m. last Tuesday
Still smell that dollar store disaster in my hallway
So I'm burning up the sheets And I'm scrubbing down the walls
Bagging every little thing you left And hauling out the hall

Driveway's finally empty But the echo's hanging tough
You're gone, girl, you're long gone But you ain't gone enough
You ain't gone enough Get your tail on outta here
Take every box of your crappy lies And your fake blonde hair

I don't give a flying truck's out front So load it up, girl, you're out of my house
But you ain't gone enough You packed your things, you broke my trust
Now take your sorry attitude And pile it in the truck
You're out of my house, but here's the thing Buttercup, till I forget I ever met you

You ain't gone enough
Yeah, take your heels and buckle up With the truck
You ain't gone enough
Oh, you ain't gone enough

Yeah, back that thing out of my driveway
