Lyrics: Flint Walker/Boone Carter
Music: Flint Walker/Boone Carter
Woke up this morning, sunlight in my eyes,
Reached out for you, but you were gone with the sunrise.
The simple life we had, too simple to stay,
Now I'm left here wonderin', why you went away.
Gone with the sunrise, left me all alone,
Didn't see it comin', now I'm on my own.
Simple was too simple, I didn't realize,
Now I'm just a lonely man, with tears in my eyes.
We had a love, like a country song,
Thought it was enough, but I was wrong.
Didn't see the signs, you slipping away,
Now I'm left here broken, every single day.
Gone with the sunrise, left me all alone,
Didn't see it comin', now I'm on my own.
Simple was too simple, I didn't realize,
Now I'm just a lonely man, with tears in my eyes.
You were my heart, my rock, my friend,
Didn't think our story'd ever end.
Now I sit here, with my whiskey and regret,
Wishing I could hold you, can't forget.
Gone with the sunrise, left me all alone,
Didn't see it comin', now I'm on my own.
Simple was too simple, I didn't realize,
Now I'm just a lonely man, with tears in my eyes.
The porch swing's empty, your laughter's gone,
The simple life we had, now feels so wrong.
Gone with the sunrise, you slipped away,
Left me here to mourn, every single day.
