Steve Earle - Now She's Gone lyrics
[Steve Earle - Now She's Gone lyrics]
She was her daddy's little darling
Her mama's only child
They didn't understand at all
When she took to running wild
She left town one day and never said goodbye
And left a hole in Daddy's lap
And a tear in Mama's eye
Where'd we go wrong? And now she's gone
She met a boy up in Kentucky
Charlie was his name
Just when he thought he got lucky
She stole his watch and chain
She always kept on moving
And she never wasted time and they said
She left quite a string
Of broken hearts behind
Woke up alone and now she's gone
Me, I wasn't even trying
You could say I was content
She went through my life like lightning
Blew out the other end
Well I still taste her kisses
Smell her perfume in the wind and if I could
You know that I would do it all again
She done me wrong and now she's gone
Her mama's only child
They didn't understand at all
When she took to running wild
She left town one day and never said goodbye
And left a hole in Daddy's lap
And a tear in Mama's eye
Where'd we go wrong? And now she's gone
She met a boy up in Kentucky
Charlie was his name
Just when he thought he got lucky
She stole his watch and chain
She always kept on moving
And she never wasted time and they said
She left quite a string
Of broken hearts behind
Woke up alone and now she's gone
Me, I wasn't even trying
You could say I was content
She went through my life like lightning
Blew out the other end
Well I still taste her kisses
Smell her perfume in the wind and if I could
You know that I would do it all again
She done me wrong and now she's gone
