There's a hole in the road   I forget every time   And the impact it shocks me   Right out of my mind   When I'm thinking of you   And the way that you left   Leaving all of us wishing   We had taken that step   And said hello, said we cared   Hadn't been frozen, scared   By a beauty so painful   And underprepared to lose      And if your memory had a timeline   I'd know right where to begin   Driving down that road in Georgia   When the first chords started in   They hit me like an arrow   A ray of light from the sun   And I didn't know I was a target   'Til you made me feel like one   And I was hit in the heart   A bright green shot in the dark   And I knew right then what I had to end   And what I had to start      It's only been one week   Who knows how many will follow   I can only hope that the air in this room   Slowly comes a little bit easier to swallow   Maybe tomorrow      There's a hole in the road   And I guess I'm not surprised   Even though I thought they'd fixed it   Since the last time we drove by   But you can never be too careful   Keep your eyes open wide   And maybe next time you'll remember to   Remember every time   And I hope that you're okay   And I'm sorry that you couldn't stay   And if I ever have the chance again   I'll know exactly what to say
