Hello, I'm Gone

Somebody's waiting back home in Dallas With no idea where she has gone Got her suitcase all packed up In the back of the pickup Got her red knee-high Luccheses on She's on any old two-lane West bound she knows She was chasing her shadow When the sun finally rose And man, she's just running It don't matter where She figures she'll know where she is When she's there And she didn't leave nothin' she can't do without And that's enough reason for leavin' no doubt She rolls down the window, turns up a song Laughs at the weather and says, "Hello, I'm gone" She broke down in Lubbock Got it stuck in reverse So she hitched down the highway Her little gun in her purse Got to the station And stared at the phone Found herself thinkin' About calling for home But she didn't leave nothin' she can't do without And that's enough reason for leavin' no doubt She dropped in a quarter made herself strong All that she told him was, "Hello, I'm gone" Then she called up a tow truck Said, "Fix up what's wrong I'm paying in cash boys Hello, I'm gone"
