Nail, David - Red Light Lyrics






So this is how it ends
This is where it all goes down
This is what "I don't love you" feels like

It ain't the middle of the night
And it ain't even raining outside
It ain't exactly what I had in mind
For goodbye

At a red light in the sunshine
On a Sunday
Nothin' to say
Don't even try

Some are comin' home
Some are leavin' town
While my world's crashin' down
On a Sunday
In the sunshine
At a red light

I thought she was gonna say
Somethin' about that couple kissin'
Crossin' the street
Or somethin' about this beautiful day

But she just looked me in the eye
Said it's over
Didn't try to lie
Or pick a fight
I might have seen it comin' thata way

But at a red light in the sunshine
On a Sunday
Nothin' to say
Don't even try

Some are comin' home
Some are leavin' town
While my world's crashin' down
On a Sunday
In the sunshine
At a red light

There's a momma calmin' down a little baby
In the backseat in front of me
There's an old man dressed in his Sunday best
Just waitin' on green
But I can't see, gettin' past

This red light
In the sunshine
On a Sunday
Nothin' to say
Don't even try

Some are comin' home
Some are leavin' town
While my world's crashin' down
On a Sunday in the sunshine
(at a red light)

At a red light in the sunshine
On a Sunday
Nothin' to say
Don't even try

Some are comin' home
Some are leavin' town
While my world's crashin' down
On a Sunday
In the sunshine
At a red light [x4]

    So far, there's been a song called "Red Light" that has been released by David Nail. And there is also a song called "Green Light" released by Lorde. Anyone besides me wish there was a song called ""Yellow Light" that would be released next?

  7. J.... M....

    It was a Ford Fairmont preacher and bunch of it

  8. J.... S....

    There is no such thing as love between human there is temporary Luster's desire and there's need temporarilythere's manipulation and there's times when you should Mike supply something they're looking for money food whatever but there is no love

  9. A.... T....

    I went to 2066 and it's irrelevant.. Everybody threw up when I asked about it. I wasn't even gay then.

  10. u.... q....

    Wish this was on spotify

  26. C.... F....

    Summer 2019 😁

  27. E.... G....

    At the red light, on a Sunday, headed to my uncles funeral. Broken. Absolute silence. My heart was broken more than I thought was possible. Then a few weeks ago. Driving home after a Dr. Appointment. Realizing I have MS and won’t ever fully recover. I broke down at a red light and got it together when that light turned green. Don’t get me wrong. I still have absolute self loathing, miserable days. Thinking of the person I would have been. Without this terrible illness. I’ll always come back to this song. To anyone going through a hard time. I hear you. I understand. Don’t. Give. Up.

  28. m.... b....

    Change the day to Saturday and I lived this to the tee

  29. A.... O....

    My ex dumped me nearly a year ago after 3 years together. Man it was hard. Another guy involved too. She said so many things to me to really hurt me and screwed me over financially. I know I dodged a bullet but yet those good times I sometimes replay in my mind. I wish her the best because of the love I had for her. After I get out the feels from a song like this I realize I’ve found better and it’s made me better. The best thing that ever happen to me. Shit it’s so easy now.

    It felt like I’d never get over it then one day you just don’t even realize your over it. You’ll relapse about two months after that and cry your eyes out but then that’s it and it’ll be gone from you. You’ll be at peace with the what’s ifs and the past.

  30. F.... M....

    The Comments wow

  31. J.... H....

    This is literally exactly what happened to me. I was taking her home and at a red light my gf of 2 years said it was over.

  32. �.... ....

    *Wrong redlight song NFS fans lmfao*

  33. B.... N....

    Anyone listening in 2019 crying in their truck?

  34. J.... B....

    Still just as good in 2019

    J.... B....

    I could tell you a story but you wouldn't even believe me.. I'm not even gay so don't go there..

    J.... B....

    Yes agreed

  35. X.... 1....

    Do Sunday's have a certain ambiance or is it just me.

  36. J.... S....

    My divorce song..20 yrs. ain't exactly what I had in mind for good bye

  37. J.... B....

    Bro is cool that you have you own sound good song buddy

  38. T.... W....

    For this song and so many more he DESERVES to be played on the radio just as much as Luke Bryan, Luke Combs and all the others. He is FANTASTIC and so underrated and unappreciated!! He writes and sings!! Total package of a GREAT Country Artist!!

  39. p.... -....

    my 2nd favorite david nail song

  40. M.... ....

    Ladies, alot of good men get treated poorly because of the mistakes of some boy before them. As a woman watching the love of my life pulling as far away as possible, I speak from experience when I say if you find a Good one Treat him like the King he is while you can💙

  41. s.... d....

    When I fist heard this it was instantly my favorite song for months. I love the bass, clever lyrics and great lead vocals. The video was great!
    The song was released Feb of 2009 and peaked at number 7 on the Country Charts. I can't believe its been 10 years ago.

  44. Q.... D....

    Behold, the comment section, with all the people talking about ex’s, beer, and country shit, these are white people, the good kind, not the meth kind

  45. e.... i....

    My red light came the first week of February of 2019

  47. L.... B....

    I saw him in concert and I had the opportunity for a meet and greet and he is so sweet 👍

  48. J.... T....

    Makes me think about the four years of hell that I’ve dealt with at a railroad museum and I spent a record 41 months suspended and they didn’t want me back into active service so I wrote them my resignation letter and left them

  49. l.... ....

    Who would want to dump him??? Lol js!

  50. J.... D....

    The song is really about that we can’t predict when the worst will happen. There’s no good time for it.

  51. A.... A....

  52. z.... L....

  65. L.... T....

  66. A.... C....

    When people leave during what seems the best of times are the worst.. you never see it coming

  67. A.... E....

    Today... mid deployment... he tells me he doesn't love me anymore. 17 years, 3 kids, 2 deployments and this is how it ends. This is the worst pain I have ever experienced.

  68. D.... D....

    2019 and I'm still listening to this amazing song and singer who DESERVES more airplay!!!

  69. K.... C....

    Truth hurts. Try, try, try to make my hubby family happy. Truth comes out no matter what.

  70. K.... C....

    Fantasy. We been raised in 'happy ever after'. Why we lied to? Life is pain and pain is life. Get over it. We born into unfair world.

  71. M.... P....

    This song helped me through my first break up in high school. Dated that girl for 18 months which seemed like forever, lol. Now married to a beautiful woman with a baby girl!

  72. A.... B....

    Discovered this song a long time ago, and just rediscovered it. You're killing it David and making me get the thinks and feels!

  73. R.... M....

    Cool song....David !

  74. S.... x....

    2008/09. “Things have a way of working themselves out.”

    Why is that so hard to subscribe to?

  75. J.... 7....

    I can relate.... definitely wasn’t a Sunday, however it went down on a Wednesday afternoon. She sends me a text message while I was at work... reading that text man. It actually Felt like a was falling off a cliff backwards, and man, it was over just like that! Couldn’t catch my breath, is this really happening to me?? Man, good lord that felt like the longest day of my life... yup not exactly what I had in mind.....for goodbye

  76. M.... K....

    I changed after that day when the police came with orders to stay away from you. They didn't know about that life we once lived together for years about 6 years.
    I realized that it was finally over. I'm just this person who functions but is all fucked up because my love never ever dies for you Jacqueline even though we will never ever meet again. This kind of short circuited the wiring in my brain. I don't know what to do think I gave you everything that I had from my heart and soul to love you with everything.

  77. E.... H....

    Abused, taken advantage of, manipulated, felt useless, and used... as soon at that relationship ended I felt like I wasn’t gonna love anyone ever again. But then he came. He came when I was about to take my life an end it all. He came an stole my heart. An he’s my best friend. Happy 3 sweetheart <3

  78. M.... ....

    he has one of the best voices in country music.. different style but up there and good writing etc songs

  79. M.... ....

    love this song

  80. R.... L....

    Not a country music fan, but have you ever had a song stuck in your head that you just can’t shake? Like you know just a select few lyrics, but you just can’t figure out what song it is? Well I found it. I scratched that itch. Lol

  81. D.... M....

    at least she told him it was over. my husband of 29years just left without a word. it's utterly devastating. I want to move on but how can I ? I'm lost.

  82. A.... L....

    Good tune.
    Sorry about your cheating girlfriends and wives... it sucks. Girls can break you into pieces, I had my share of broken days, there's a few good ones out there though, that still believe in loyalty, any of those that don't: I hope they get a nice 'razz" by the karma cops. (that's a clean version of what I really wanna say).
    PS, if you think this artist is underrated, allow me to point out the 9.3 MILLION views on this video alone. What the heck??? :)

  83. T.... c....

    This is a beautiful song .

  84. K.... B....

    Everyone’s talking about their losing their loved ones or their girlfriend/boyfriend leaving them and I’m over here listening to this song because I like it and I’m not depressed.

  85. N.... K....

    Still listening in 2018

  86. M.... H....

    It ain't exactly what I had in mind

  87. T.... ....

  96. I.... -....

    [Verse 1]
    So this is how it ends
    This is where it all goes down
    This is what "I don't love you" feels like
    It ain't the middle of the night
    And it ain't even raining outside
    It ain't exactly what I had in mind, for goodbye

    [Chorus]
    At a red light in the sunshine on a Sunday
    Nothing to say, don't even try
    Some are coming home, some are leaving town
    While my world's crashing down
    On a Sunday in the sunshine
    At a red light

    [Verse 2]
    I thought she was gonna say
    Something 'bout that couple kids and crossing the street
    Or something about this beautiful day
    But she just looked me in the eye
    Said "it's over", didn't try to lie or pick a fight
    I might have seen it coming that way

    [Chorus]
    But at a red light in the sunshine on a Sunday
    Nothing to say, don't even try
    Some are coming home, some are leaving town
    While my world's crashing down
    On a Sunday in the sunshine
    At a red light
