“What I’d Say” Lyrics

Even with all the emotional power behind later albums, “What I’d Say” remains a favorite of Gary Allan ticketholders.

What I’d Say Lyrics:
Talkin' to the mirror, whispering your name
It's just like you were here, you'd think I was insane
I hold these conversations in the silence of my room
Rehearsing all the things I'd say should I run into you

How's it goin', might be what I'd say
Well you broke my heart you know
Or it looks like rain today
Or God I've missed you
Since you went away
You're lookin' well
Or go to Hell
Might be what I'd say

There's time I've been so angry
I could put my fist right through the wall
And then there's times I've come so close
To givin' you a call
I love you and I hate you
All at the same time
Then I pray you'll come back to me
Before I lose my mind

How's it goin', might be what I'd say
Well you broke my heart you know
Or it looks like rain today
Or God I've missed you
Since you went away
You're lookin' well
Or go to Hell
Might be what I'd say

Or maybe, God I've missed you
Since you went away
You're lookin' well
Or go to Hell
Might be what I'd say

Gary Allan would follow up with an even greater success in 2001 album Alright Guy. The album would give Gary Allan his first taste of a No. 1 single with “Man To Man” and also had two smash hits in “The One” and “Man of Me”.
