[Verse 1]
You're a fElower drawn in siAdewalk chalk
BeEautiful but she won't stick aBround for long
YouA'll be gone from heBre in a mAatter of hEoursA  
After the fC#mirst summer rain washes aAll of yBou awEayA  
And every single trace of your
late nEight, drunAk phone call
TellEin' me you love me afBter all
I still tAaste the red wine on your lBips on the siAde of the phoEneA  
But somehC#mow we lose connecAtion and Bthen you'rEe gone
[Chorus]
If I'd a hBeld on a little longer
Loved yAou a little stronger
Would you Estill be ridin' shotgun next to mAe
Showed up Buninvited to be Aright by your side now, darlin'
Would we Ebe more than a gooBd memoryE  
[Verse 2]
You're a Esouthern livin' mAagazine
So Eelegant and Bpristine
Well, yAou smell like a rBich womAan's coElogneA  
Soon soC#mmeone's bound to pick Ayou up Band take you Ehome
[Chorus]
If I'd a hBeld on a little longer
Loved yAou a little stronger
Would you Estill be ridin' shotgun next to mAe
Showed up Buninvited to be Aright by your side now, darlin'
Would we Ebe more than a gooBd memoryE  
If I'd a hBeld on a little longer
Loved yoAu a little stronger
Would you Estill be ridin' shotgun next to mAe
Showed up Buninvited to youAr hill countryside apartment
Would we Ebe more than a good BmemoryE  
A gBood memoryE
