When A Woman's Through
Dedicated to every man who's been dumped by a woman he loved.
I started writing music when I was truck driving during Covid. I would try out different melodies behind the wheel, recording them on my phone.
This Song cost me $450 to write because I was caught speeding while coming up with the tune driving on a backroad in Georgia. Singing at the top of my lungs, I never saw or heard the trooper cleverly concealed at the bottom of one those rollercoaster hills. Worth every penny.
One further note: my wife broke up with me three times before she agreed to marry me.
When a woman's through she's through
And there's nothin' you can do
But play that tiny fiddle that's tearin' you in two
Don't drop by don't wonder why
There's no figurin' what's true
The day is gone the moment's passed
She ain't comin' back to you
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
Your hands on the wheel
When the rubber meets the road again
You'll remember how to feel
When the love is done it's done
Even when it's just begun
She doesn't want your letters
Sayin' where you're comin' from
She ain't out there thinkin' there'll be another day
The best thing for the two of you is for you to go away
If you're lookin' for tomorrow
In the pain of yesterday
That hand of hers you're holdin' on to never slips away
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
Your hands on the wheel
When the rubber meets the road again
You'll remember how to feel
There's a light in the horizon
Change that never ends
You'll miss it if you're lookin' back, not around the bend
We never see what's comin'
But it's comin' just the same
Eventually the jealousy dissolves with all the blame
When her heart is gone it's gone
And there ain't no right or wrong
Something's been protecting you
Be glad she's moved along
That woman in the mirror
You keep turning back to see
Is keepin' you from bein' what she wanted you to be
And those endless conversations
You keep runnin' in your head
Will steal away what's left of you
Leave you half past dead
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
Your hands on the wheel
When the rubber meets the road again
You'll remember how to feel
