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
