Tappin' on the dash with her bare feet
 Poppin' that gum and paintin' her toenails blue
 She'd turn on the radio and crank it up
 That girl could never get it loud enough
 She'd make up words to songs she thought she knew

 Yeah saturday nights we'd lead the parade
 Of tricked out Fords and Chevrolets
 We'd cruise through town and head down to the lake
 Well I was hangin' with the boys a little bit later
 Talkin' 'bout tires and carburetors
 When I happened to see my whole world drive away

 Now I've got nothin' but taillights
 Nothin' but goodbye
 Nothin' but leavin' goin' on
 And I'm nothin' but sorry
 Got nothin' but memories
 She's nothin' but taillights gone

 I ain't sayin' she stole that car
 But that was May and this is March
 And all I get are tickets in the mail
 She was doin' eighty-five in Tennessee
 Clocked in Kansas doin' ninety-three
 I just hope she lets me post her bail

 Cause I've got nothin' but taillights
 Nothin' but goodbye
 Nothin' but leavin' goin' on
 And I'm nothin' but sorry
 Got nothin' but memories
 She's nothin' but taillights gone...come back baby

 I've got nothin' but taillights
 Nothin' but goodbye
 Nothin' but leavin' goin' on
 And I'm nothin' but sorry
 Got nothin' but memories
 She's nothin' but taillights gone

 Lord she's nothin' but taillights gone
