Tin Can On A String

Brad Paisley

After the breakup, I really thought we'd make up. Give her a little time, I'd be on her mind And suddenly she'd wake up. But today if you listen, Softly off in the distance, Somewhere 'cross town, you can hear the sound Of wedding bells ringing. And there's bird seed on the concrete, And she's waving goodbye And they're driving away And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade Yeah she's really gone, I thought someday that would be me But now she's driving away in that limousine And I'm holdin' on Like a tin can on a string. Somewhere in my mind, I'm the one by her side. In that backseat, talkin' 'bout the beach And that honeymoon flight. I'd play the whole thing out, From the kids to the house, To the future that we always dreamed about. But there's bird seed on the concrete, And back here in reality She's driving away And everybody cheerin' them on as the taillights fade Yeah she's really gone, I thought someday that would be me But now she's driving away in that limousine And I'm holdin' on Like a tin can on a string. I thought someday that would be me But now she's driving away in that limousine And I'm not ready to let go of everything So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on Like a tin can on a string. *Play The Ending Off However You Want*
