Tail Light Blues - Karen Collins - 2004 (ASCAP)

Many times you've heard the stories about love gone wrong
And that's the situation you'll hear in this song.
There¹s ways of dealing with the heartbreak,of patching it up
But what I'm needing is advise on how to divy up the stuff.

You keep the tv. I'll take the car.
I need the wheels, darling, cause I'm goin¹ far.
Far away, I'm driving far away.
You know you're gonna miss me, you're gonna cry.
But look for me, you'll just see tail lights waving bye bye.

We started out so happy when our love was new.
Time has merged our possessions, no telling who's whose.
Things didn't work out, but I'm sure we'll be fine.
If we can come to some agreement on what's yours and what's mine.

I'll take the Martin. I've a plan in mind
To get a country group a startin' somewhere down the line.
Down the line. I'm heading down the line.
You know you're gonna miss me, you're gonna cry.
But look for me, you'll just see tail lights waving bye bye.

I'll take the records. Music makes my day.
You can have the wedding gifts. I never liked them anyway.
Things we bought together, we can't unjoin
So to decide I guess we're gonna have to flip a coin.

Heads you get the kitty, 'though I love that feline
Cat always says she ain't the traveling kind.
Traveling kind. I'll be the traveling kind.
You know you're gonna miss me, you're gonna cry.
But look for me, you'll just see tail lights waving bye bye.
