As recorded by Dwight Yoakam (From the 2024 Album BRIGHTER DAYS) [Intro] C G/B Am G C/G G C G/B Am G C/G G [Verse 1]
G
I drove so far that I finally had to

            D   Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Stop at the water

D7
If you ever drive there then you'll

                 G C/G G C/G G
Know just what I mean

G
Stood in the sand lookin' out

                     D Dsus4 D Dsus4 D
Farther than I could holler

D7
Where I'd made it all the way to the end

                 G C/G G
Of our shattered dreams
[Verse 2]
G
She told me she was with me

                               D
'Till she left me halfway for another

D7
So if you gonna try it, don't do it

                  G
With someone that mean

G
I shoulda known better right from

                 D
The first time I saw her

D7
Now she's another lesson in lovin'

               G
That I won't repeat

It don't ever lie
[Verse 3]
  G
I hung out here, all alone

            D
But I never bothered

D7
To think about ever going back to where

           G
You put me down

G
So if you ever run again

                                 D
Baby drive it all the way to the water

           D7
Where some dude hanging 'round on the sand

                G
Might be me you found
[Chorus]
