I've been living in the neon smoke
Drowning in the whiskey coke
Ever since she got gone
I don't know what to do or where to go
Been laying low, dodging all her friends
'Cause I don't wanna know who she's with
I don't wanna lie to them, 'bout how I am, and where I been

I been kicked back in the sand on an Alabama beach
Shut down every bar on Bourbon Street
Colorado on a cloud nine high
But I'm back in town just for the night
I been out in Nevada put it all on black
Me and these boots been all over the map
So if she's asking how I been
Just tell her that's the state I'm in

It ain't like me to make stuff up
But damn it's sure been tough
I ain't asking much
But if you run into h?r
And my name comes up

I been kicked back in th? sand on an Alabama beach
Shut down every bar on Bourbon Street
Colorado on a cloud nine high
But I'm back in town just for the night
I been out in Nevada put it all on black
Me and these boots been all over the map
So if she's asking how I been
Just tell her that's the state I'm in
Just tell her that's the state I'm in

No I ain't asking much
But if you run into her
And my name comes up
I've been moving on better than you've ever seen
Nah, her memory it don't get to me, it don't get to me
'Cause I've been

Kicked back in the sand on an Alabama beach
Shut down every bar on Bourbon Street
Colorado on a cloud nine high
But I'm back in town just for the night
I been out in Nevada put it all on black
Me and these boots been all over the map
So if she's asking how I been
Just tell her that's the state I'm in
Just tell her that's the state I'm in
