Reserved 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 now mom |
|
I swear to |
|
God I just don't know, |
|
Picture book sittin on the table, |
|
Memories were stacked up through the years, |
|
But tonight their ain't no pictures on them pages, |
|
Cuz your kinda gone |
|
And you're never coming back home again |
|
CHORUS And tonight all the dancehalls are empty |
|
No 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, |
|
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, |
|
And 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 |
|
CHORUS 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 |
|
Drink it till |
|
I just can't drink no more |
|
A Late night phone call from the |
|
East Coast, |
|
Said she had enough, |
|
She's coming on back home, |
|
Guess she went out and got crazy for awhile, |
|
If she leaves right now, |
|
Maybe she'll make |
|
Memphis by the dawn |
|
CHORUS 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 |
