Lyrics
She's got Koe turned up on the stereo
Setting the scene, the woman is listening to music (Koe) on the stereo.
Headed down that same old road again
She is on a familiar road, possibly facing a recurring situation.
After all the hell that she's been put through
After enduring a lot of pain, she seeks relief or distraction.
Just needs a little something for the pain
Expressing a need for something to ease her emotional pain.
She swore this time that she wouldn't listen
She vowed not to listen to the person causing her distress.
To another damn word he'd try to say
Refusing to hear any more lies or excuses from him.
Sick of all the lies and the excuses
Fed up with deception and ready to escape from everything.
It's time to get away from everything
A decision to distance herself from the toxic situation.
Kicking up a little dust
Creating a metaphorical cloud of dust, symbolizing her departure.
Gotta get the hell out of this town
She is determined to leave her current location.
Shaking off, that heart of rust
Getting rid of emotional baggage, represented as a rusty heart.
This time she won't be found
This time, she intends to remain elusive and not be found.
Ripping off that rear view, so long…
Symbolic act of removing the rearview mirror, leaving the past behind.
That girl is gone
Declaring her departure, the girl is gone.
Headed towards that Johnson county line
Heading towards a specific county line, further emphasizing her escape.
She don't ever wanna see his face again
A strong aversion to seeing the person's face again.
No more crying, those days are over
No more tears, indicating a resolution to move on from the emotional pain.
Time to burn that moonlight at both ends
Time to live life fully, burning the candle at both ends.
Kicking up a little dust
Reiteration of the desire to leave, raising more dust.
Gotta get the hell out of this town
Continued determination to escape the town.
Shaking off, that heart of rust
Shedding the metaphorical rust from her heart.
This time she won't be found
Reaffirming her intention to be untraceable.
Ripping off that rear view, so long…
Removing the rearview mirror again, emphasizing the finality of leaving.
That girl is gone
Reiteration that the girl has departed.
Kicking up a little dust
Repeating the desire to raise dust and leave the town.
Gotta get the hell out of this town
Emphasizing the urgency to depart from the current location.
Shaking off, that heart of rust
Continuing to cast off the emotional rust.
This time she won't be found
Committing to remaining elusive and not being found.
Ripping off that rear view, so long…
Final act of leaving the past behind, removing the rearview mirror.
This time she's never coming home
Stressing the permanence of her departure, never coming home again.
That girl is gone
Reiteration that the girl has left.
She's got Koe turned up on the stereo…
Closing with a reminder of her initial action, listening to Koe on the stereo.
