Nobody Leaves a Girl Like That
Jon Pardi Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're gonna look twice when she gets to walkin'
In a honky tonk with them blue jeans on
She's a cold beer, a whiskey shot, a neon light
A Strait song on the jukebox, a dance all night
What a cowboy wants, a never-do-you-wrong
Nobody walks away and never looks back
You'd have to be out of your mind
To tell somethin' that good, "Goodbye"
Nobody goes and breaks a heart of gold
Once you get a girl like that you never let her go
Take it from me, nobody leaves a girl like that
I was reckless and wild, didn't think I was ready
Couldn't settle me down, so I fired up my Chevy
I was stubborn and she was cryin'
Well, she knew she couldn't stop me but she kept right on tryin'
Nobody leaves a girl like that
Nobody walks away and never looks back
You'd have to be out of your mind
To tell somethin' that good, "Goodbye"
Nobody goes and breaks a heart of gold
Once you get a girl like that you never let her go
Take it from me, nobody leaves a girl like that
She's the kind of girl that only comes around once
Well, she found somebody new and I'm goin' crazy because
Nobody leaves a girl like that
Nobody walks away and never looks back
You'd have to be out of your mind
To tell somethin' that good, "Goodbye"
Nobody goes and breaks a heart of gold
Once you get a girl like that you never let her go
Take it from me, nobody leaves
Nobody leaves a girl like that, oh no
A girl like that
The song "Nobody Leaves A Girl Like That" by Jon Pardi is about a girl who is irresistible and unforgettable. She is the type of girl that every cowboy wants to be with, with her stunning blue eyes that captivate anyone who looks into them. She is seen as the perfect girl to be with at a honky tonk, with her blue jeans on, cold beer in hand, and a whiskey shot. She is the kind of girl that every cowboy will never want to let go of, and they will regret it if they do.
The lyrics speak of the cowboy's experience of losing her because he was reckless and wild, and she was crying while trying to stop him from leaving. He never imagined he was ready to settle down with her, so he fired up his Chevy and drove away. Later on, he found out she had moved on, and he regrets what he did, wishing he had stayed with her.
The song's message is that a girl like her can only come around once in a lifetime, and when you get her, you should never let her go. Nobody leaves a girl like that, and if you do, you'll never forget her. It's a heartfelt message that speaks to the importance of not taking someone for granted and recognizing the value of what you have when you have it.
