Goin' Goin' Gone

What you get is what you see
With a small town home grown boy like me
My fatherЂ™s fatherЂ™s blood runs deep as his dreams that I still hold dear
And hard days work- yeahit gives me pride
And my words are the fuel for the fire inside
Of the heart that she outgrew like this town here
Wellif you see my girl in austin
Tell her I miss what we lost when
She walked out the door to return no more
To the life that she belongs
And if sheЂ™s there in amarillo
Ђ™bout that note beneath my pillowЎ­
WhyЂ™d I have to read what I could not see about my ways that rubbed her wrong
When she was goinЂ™goinЂ™gone?
A heartland girl with uptown eyes
My old fashioned views missed her disguise
IЂ™d have never guessed sheЂ™d have pawned our love for a pair of walking shoes
WellI hope those big plans all work out
And she makes her name- but I have no doubt
SheЂ™ll one day see what itЂ™s all about
Is this life she swore to lose
Wellif you see my girl in austin
Tell her I miss what we lost when
She walked out the door to return no more
To the life that she belongs
And if sheЂ™s there in amarillo
Ђ™bout that note beneath my pillowЎ­
WhyЂ™d I have to read what I could not see about my ways that rubbed her wrong
When she was goinЂ™goinЂ™gone?
