smoking the memory away

[Male Verse 1]
I watched her leave in an old Ford truck
Tail lights fading, out of luck
The radio played our favorite song
But she was gone before it was done

I sat alone on that front porch swing
Trying to numb every little thing
Torch burned bright in the cold night air
But nothing could make me stop seeing her there

[Female Verse 1]
I drove all night with tears in my eyes
Watching our town disappear behind
Thought a new road might ease the pain
But every mile just said your name

I'd pull over underneath the stars
Thinking about all our scars
Lighting one up just to feel okay
But your memory never drifted away

[Duet Chorus]
(Male) I sang a dabs lullaby
(Female) I sang a weed lullaby
(Together) Underneath the same moonlight tonight

(Male) Every cloud carried your name
(Female) Every spark felt just the same
(Together) We were trying to let each other go

(Male) But the hurt wouldn't die
(Female) And the tears wouldn't dry
(Together) So we sang our smoke lullabies

[Male Verse 2]
Friday nights I'd pass your street
Slow rolling by in that old Chevy
Wondering if you ever thought of me
Or if I'd become a memory

The boys all said I'd be alright
Just needed time and a few good nights
But every laugh was just pretend
Trying to hide where I'd been

[Female Verse 2]
My friends kept saying move on girl
There's plenty of fish in this big old world
But they never knew the plans we made
Or how much of my heart stayed

Every sunset painted your face
Every song took me back to that place
The county fair and your hand in mine
Back before we ran out of time

[Duet Chorus]
(Male) I sang a dabs lullaby
(Female) I sang a weed lullaby
(Together) Underneath the same moonlight tonight

(Male) Every cloud carried your name
(Female) Every spark felt just the same
(Together) We were trying to let each other go

(Male) But the hurt wouldn't die
(Female) And the tears wouldn't dry
(Together) So we sang our smoke lullabies

[Bridge - Male & Female Alternating]

(Male) Did you ever miss me?

(Female) Every single day.

(Female) Did you ever stop loving me?

(Male) I never found a way.

(Male) Would we do it different?

(Female) If we could start again.

(Together) Some questions never find an end.

[Female Verse 3]
Ten years later at a small-town bar
I saw that Chevy parked where you are
My heart stopped beating for a second or two
When I looked up and saw it was you

[Male Verse 3]
You smiled the same way you always did
Like every memory we ever lived
For a moment there the years disappeared
And all that pain just wasn't here

[Final Chorus - Big Duet]
(Male) I sang a dabs lullaby
(Female) I sang a weed lullaby
(Together) Underneath the same moonlight tonight

(Male) Every cloud carried your name
(Female) Every spark felt just the same
(Together) Even after all this time had gone

(Male) The love never died
(Female) It just learned to survive
(Together) Like smoke rising into the sky

(Male) I sang a dabs lullaby
(Female) I sang a weed lullaby
(Together) Now we're singing one last lullaby

Outro (Soft Duet)
(Male) The smoke fades away...

(Female) But memories stay...

(Together) And some hearts never really say goodbye...
Some hearts never really say goodbye...
