I was eastbound out of Dallas On Valentine's Day And after five weeks on the road I'm going home And I realized today I wished all those weeks away And you can't get them back once they're gone Once they're gone, they're gone forever And if you're lucky enough You can bring 'em back in a song Moving on, is hard as ever Well and you can't get 'em back Once they're gone Well, an empty house and a letter Is a sad, sad thing to find After you've been driving all night long And it's hard to rest your head On a cold and empty bed When you can't get 'em back once they're gone Once they're gone, they're gone forever And if you're lucky enough You can bring 'em back in a song Moving on, is hard as ever You can't get 'em back once they're gone, no, no Well, once they're gone, they're gone forever And if you're lucky enough You can bring 'em back in a song Moving on, is hard as ever Well, and you can't get 'em back Once they're gone Oh, you know, that you can't get 'em back Once they're gone
