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 tears rolling over the hill I called her mama and I called her good friend They said: She called it quits, so boy don’t call here again Up and down these streets looking for her car Tried to make it back home, but ended up at the barShe’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 mindI’d saw you down in Memphis walking in the rain
I caught a glimpse of you in Dallas getting off a plane But it’s all in my head what else can I do She ain’t drinking anymore, so I’m drinking for twoShe’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, oh oh, oh oh ohShe’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 mindSo long, oh
(So gone, so gone) She’s gone and everybody knows That she’s out of sight and I’m out of my mind (She’s gone, so long) Oh (So gone, so gone) Oh oh oh oh That she’s out of sight and I’m out of my mind (She’s gone, so long) (So gone, so gone)
