Brooks & Dunn - When She's Gone, She's Gone Lyrics
(tom douglas/wayland holyfield)Saw an old friend last night I hadnt seen in a couple of yearsStopped in galatoires had a couple of beersTalked about the price of oysters, the coach at lsuThen like I knew it would the conversation turned to youHe had to go and I looked at my watch, it was 1:45I headed down canal, the quarter was coming aliveA man on the corner told me that jesus is coming soonBut I was lost in the music and the crowd and the smell of cheap perfumeIts not good for a man to be aloneBut a women needs someone that she can count onAnd I walked down by the river in the cold gray dawnLove is like the mississippiWhen shes gone shes goneThe line was long at caf du monde so I walked out on the pierThought about all the winds and turns and mistakes that got me hereMight as well try to change the course this old river takesThan to go back in time when you were mine, pretend its not lateIts not good for a man to be aloneBut a women needs someone that she can count onAnd what Id give to go back but the currents just too strongLove is like the mississippiWhen shes gone shes goneRepeat 2nd chorusYeah shes gone
