She's Gone

Mmm, standing in the doorway

She was crying, big as life

She was waving me goodbye

The fool that I am, saw it coming

Did not have to guess the reason why

She said again and again, "I'll be going

And one day you're gonna be here alone"

And right now, I'm starting to believe her

She just ain't leavin', she's gone

This ain't the first time that I've been through this

I know the price I'm gonna pay, you see

I've got one ex-wife already

And I've got another on the way

She could always tell that I was lying

And God knows that I'd be lying all the time

And sitting here right now, you know that I'm dying

'Cause I could not keep myself in line

And it's too late, I'm gonna need her

And the nights are getting cold and long

And I never will forget that front door slamming

You know, because, she just ain't leaving, she's gone
