She's Mighty Gone

Day dawns and here comes the news
Baby's gone and here comes the blues
Took the pen and paper and threw 'em on the floor
There's nothing left to write anymore
She's mighty gone and I'm heartsick and sore
Why why why don't baby live here anymore
She's mighty gone

She's not the kind that's easy to live with
Not the gentle kind a man can be real with
She spoke out in protest I spoke out in anger
Turned her cross my knee even that didn't change her
She's mighty gone and I'm heartsick and sore
Why why why don't baby live here anymore
She's mighty gone

I'll pick up the dishes that she threw on the floor
I'll paint the walls and I'll buy a new door
I'll buy her perfume until it makes her sick
I'll make her realize it takes two heels to click
She's mighty gone and I'm heartsick and sore
Why why why don't baby live here anymore
She's mighty gone
