(Chorus)

Madeline is leaving

We’re gonna miss you, we're gonna miss you....

Madeline is leaving

So bye bye.....bye bye

(Verse)

She'd rather flirt with the Devil then settle

So she's headed out west, pedal down to the metal

Disheveled, a flower lost all of its petals

Piggy bank full of change and her mom's tea kettle

That Ford Focus is now a living and a bedroom

Dreams so big, they’re bustin’ out the headroom

Been doin’ what she's told since she's a little kid

But every time there’s a rainbow someone hits it big and so

Madeline is leavin’ she's dreamin’ of her 15 minutes

And she's gonna live it

Last year took a visit and fell in love with the weather

Tan lines fade but memories stay forever so

She’s gonna go wherever the wind blows

Turn her back on everything she knows

She’s been doin’ what she's told since she's a little kid

But every time there's a rainbow, someone hits it big and so,

(Chorus)

(Verse)

Madeline made up her mind; she's done with the daily grind

Leavin’ behind breakin’ her spine for nickels and dimes

And she's been playin’ hooky to look at the stars

A busy bee stashin’ cash in the cookie jar

She’s got one more graveyard shift to pull

The tank and the trunk on her Ford are full

All she needs it between the stickers on the fender

Believes fame fills the fingers on her Fender

Some will defend her, most try to bend her

She’s done counting crows seen her last long December

Memories here are good for songs not to remember

Can’t quite say where the future is gonna send her

She’ll embark with a spark ‘til it burns like an ember

With a hand me down guitar and the years that we'll lend her

Madeline is leavin’ she’s done laying down

Set a course to divorce this one horse town

(Chorus)
