December 17, 2024All I Could Say Was Yeah
Verse
You packed your bags in the morning light,
Said you couldn’t stand another fight.
The door slammed shut, and the silence grew,
I thought I’d miss the sound of you.
But the sun hit the porch, and I felt free,
Like the world was finally right for me.
Pre-Chorus
You said, "I’m gone, and I’m not coming back,"
And I tipped my hat, didn’t feel the lack.
Chorus
All I could say was, Yeah!
Freedom rolling like the wind in my hair.
No ties, no chains, no promises to keep,
Just the hum of the night and a good night’s sleep.
You walked away, and I didn’t despair—
All I could say was, Yeah!
Verse
Solitude’s a song I’ve always known,
The quiet hum, it feels like home.
The sound of the crickets, the rustle of trees,
Are better company than you were to me.
Now I’m driving down this open road,
A full tank of gas, and nowhere to go.
Pre-Chorus
You said, "You’ll regret it, you’ll beg me someday,"
But I just smiled as you walked away.
Chorus
All I could say was, Yeah!
Freedom rolling like the wind in my hair.
No ties, no chains, no promises to keep,
Just the hum of the night and a good night’s sleep.
You walked away, and I didn’t despair—
All I could say was, Yeah!
Bridge
There’s a beauty in being alone,
No one calling, blowing up my phone.
I can sit and think, or not think at all,
Just let the stars catch me if I fall.
Chorus
All I could say was, Yeah!
Freedom rolling like the wind in my hair.
No ties, no chains, no promises to keep,
Just the hum of the night and a good night’s sleep.
You walked away, and I didn’t despair—
All I could say was, Yeah!
Outro
So here’s to the quiet, here’s to the night,
Here’s to the solitude that feels so right.
You left me alone, but I don’t even care—
All I could say was, Yeah!
