Nelson - Goin' Goin' Gone Lyrics
What you get is what you seeWith a small town home grown boy like meMy fathers fathers blood runs deep as his dreams that I still hold dearAnd hard days work- yeah, it gives me prideAnd my words are the fuel for the fire insideOf the heart that she outgrew like this town hereWell, if you see my girl in austin,Tell her I miss what we lost whenShe walked out the door to return no moreTo the life that she belongsAnd if shes there in amarillobout that note beneath my pillowWhyd I have to read what I could not see about my ways that rubbed her wrongWhen she was goin, goin, gone?A heartland girl with uptown eyesMy old fashioned views missed her disguiseId have never guessed shed have pawned our love for a pair of walking shoesWell, I hope those big plans all work outAnd she makes her name- but I have no doubtShell one day see what its all aboutIs this life she swore to loseWell, if you see my girl in austin,Tell her I miss what we lost whenShe walked out the door to return no moreTo the life that she belongsAnd if shes there in amarillobout that note beneath my pillowWhyd I have to read what I could not see about my ways that rubbed her wrongWhen she was goin, goin, gone?(repeat)
