You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone

"You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music duo Brooks & Dunn. It was released in June 1995 as the fourth single from their third album Waitin' on Sundown. The song reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. This is the third single to feature Kix Brooks on lead vocals instead of Ronnie Dunn, and the only single of such that was one of Brooks & Dunn's twenty Billboard Number One hits. It was written by Brooks & Dunn, along with Don Cook.

Content

The male narrator explains to his significant other that she has constantly been mistreating him; and although he still shows great affection for her, he ultimately comes to the realization that their relationship is in serious jeopardy because of her actions and therefore contemplates ending the relationship for good. Beforehand, the narrator presents his soon-to-be former lover an opportunity to give him a farewell kiss, informing her that she will regret the mistakes that she had made and will miss him after he leaves her.

Critical reception

Billboard's Eric Boehler praised the craftsmanship and production of the song, simply calling it "another welcome Brooks & Dunn outing."^[1] Deborah Evans Price, also of Billboard, reviewed the song favorably, calling it a welcome change of pace from their "typically terrific barn-burning honky-tonkers and affecting tear-in-the-beer ballads." She goes on to call it "excellent song craftsmanship with great production."^[2]
