Clothes ain't in the closet, shoes ain't under the bed I should've believed her when she said what she said You'll never change I know you never will I just sat there watching tailights rollin' over the hill I called her mama and I called her best friend They said: She called it quits, so boy don't call here again Up and down these streets lookin' for her car Tried to make it back home, but ended up at the bar
She's gone (she's gone, so long) never coming back So gone (so gone, so gone) the train went off the track And all the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put me and my baby back together again So long (she's gone, so long) that's the way it goes She's gone (so long, so long) and everybody knows That I'm going crazy one night at a time She's out of sight and I'm out of my mind
Thought I saw you down in Memphis walking in the rain I caught a glimpse of you in Dallas gettin' off a plane But it's all in my head what else can I do She ain't drinkin' anymore, so I'm drinkin' for two
She's gone (she's gone, so long) never coming back So gone (so gone, so gone) the train went off the track And all the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put me and my baby back together again So long (she's gone, so long) that's the way you know She's gone (so gone, so gone) and everybody knows That I'm going crazy one night at a time She's out of sight and I'm out of my mind
