Tin Can on a String Lyrics

After the breakup, I really thought we'd make up

Give her a little time, I'd be on her mind
And suddenly she'd wake up

But today if you listen softly off in the distance

Somewhere across town

You can hear the sound of weddin' bells ringin'

And there's birdseed on the concrete and she's wavin' goodbye

And they're drivin' away, everybody cheerin' them on

As the taillights fade, yeah she's really gone

I thought someday that would be me

But now she's drivin' away in that limousine
And I'm holdin' on like a tin can on a string

Somewhere in my mind, I'm the one by her side

In that backseat talkin' 'bout the beach, and that honeymoon flight

I play the whole thing out from the kids to the house

To the future that we always dreamed about

But there's birdseed on the concrete back here in reality

She's drivin' away, everybody cheerin' them on
As the taillights fade, yeah she's really gone

I thought someday that would be me

But now she's drivin' away in that limousine

And I'm holdin' on like a tin can on a string

I thought someday that would be me

But now she's drivin' away in that limousine

And I'm not ready to let go of everything

So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on like a tin can on a string
