Out the Window

He found the bottle she tossed in to the weeds
As she sped through the curves out on highway 70
He still smells the beer, the gasoline and smoke
Still sees her Chevy wrapped around that oak

He walked that stretch for days, kicking through the grass
Looking for an answer in that lost piece of glass
He thumbs the lipstick on the rim and starts to cry
‘Cause he can’t seem to find any way to say goodbye

He’s a hollow man
Just as empty as that bottle in his hand
Left with memories and the years they’ll never know
‘Cause she threw everything out the window

He put that bottle to his chest and held it close
Like he held her as a baby sixteen years ago
One foolish night took all her young life could have been
Now he’d give anything just to hold her once again

Now he’s a hollow man
Just as empty as that bottle in his hand
Left with memories and the years they’ll never know
‘Cause she threw everything out the window

He found the bottle she tossed in to the weeds
As she sped through the curves out on highway 70
