Been Gone

Been Gone

(альбом: Southern Soul - 2013)

Well they married early, like young lovers do
He worked two jobs and put her through school
He gave his last dollar, she got her degree
And after all his sacrificed, she still had the nerve to leave

Now there's a quarter moon in a ten cent town
Yeah, she's moving up and he's going down
She's on the high road, and he's alone
He's been drinking, and she's been gone

She left her heart open, got swept off of her feet
By a man with all the finer things and a lot of money
She broke the news and broke his heart and loaded up her car
She headed off to Dallas, and he headed off to the bar

Now there's a quarter moon in a ten cent town
Yeah, she's moving up and he's going down
She's on the high road, and he's alone
He's been drinking, and she's been gone

You know sometimes when a heart gets broke
With a little time it can heal
Oh, but when the scars are a little too deep
Sometimes a broken heart can kill

He had whiskey on his last breath, all them years were just too hard
His last words were bury me out in the back yard
And time also found her regretting what she'd done
And she thought of him in her old life, and she headed back home

Now it's a quarter til noon in a ten cent town
And she pulls up as they lower him down
And she cries, "oh, no," when she sees the headstone
Now she's been drinking and he's been gone
