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 9 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 her

And my name comes up.

I been kicked back in the sand on an alabama beach

Shut down every bar on bourbon street

Colorado on a cloud 9 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 9 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.
