| Momma cried when you left me
|
| Know she’s always loved you so
|
| She said «hey fool what the hell did you do?»
|
| I said «mom I swear to God I just don’t know»
|
| Picture book sittin on the table
|
| Memories stacked up through the years
|
| But tonight there ain’t no pictures on them pages
|
| Cuz your kinda girl, never gonna come back home again
|
| Yeah tonight all the dancehalls are empty
|
| No young lovers on the floor
|
| So I’ll sit here with my whiskey
|
| Drink it 'till I just can’t drink no more
|
| And I don’t know why you had to leave me
|
| And all I really know is that you are gone, long gone
|
| And everywhere I go I just feel lonely
|
| You’re the only life I’ve ever known
|
| I guess you heard the highway calling
|
| Because you packed up your things and headed for the coast
|
| I had to fight the urge to follow
|
| I guess some time away from me
|
| Is all you’ve ever really needed most
|
| And tonight you know this whole damn town is empty
|
| And I don’t think I can take it anymore
|
| So I’ll sit here with my whiskey
|
| And drink it 'till I just can’t drink no more
|
| A Late night phone call from the east coast
|
| Well she said she’d had enough
|
| She’s comin' on back home
|
| Well she went out there
|
| Got a little crazy for awhile
|
| If she leaves right now
|
| Maybe she’ll make Memphis by the dawn
|
| And tonight you know this whole damn house is empty
|
| Tomorrow will be like it was before
|
| So I’ll put away my whiskey
|
| Guess I just don’t need it anymore
|
| Yeah I’ll put away my whiskey
|
| Guess I just don’t need it anymore
|
| No no no, no no no |
