Lonely When I'm Gone
Well my hair is turning grey
With every passing day
The sun just set in Reno and I still ain't thinking straight
Daddy oughta be home any day now
Been saying that for years
And I'll see my friends in August but May is still right here
The price of gas is so damn high
And these boys don't treat you right
I wore my best blue jeans today and a tote bag to hold my mind
Mama I been thinking 'bout this girl
It's desolate in Truckee
San Francisco's near maybe under city lights she'll love me
She says honey bring your boots in
Cause running from your gut is so damn wrong
They beat you down til Houston
But stubborn has a way of dragging you on
Put it on a postcard or write it in a song
Say California's so damn lonely when I'm gone
Now her dress is turning grey
What a shame it's laundry day
The dust from mama's books is a good excuse for the tears to drain
And every Friday night she's out for blood
While her girlfriends are all home laughing
And happy hour is cheaper but it don't make her happy
She says honey bring your boots in
Running from your gut is so damn wrong
They beat you down til Houston
But stubborn has a way of dragging you on
So put it on a postcard or write it in a song
Say California's so damn lonely when I'm gone
Put it on a postcard or write it in a song
Say California's so damn lonely when I'm gone
With every passing day
The sun just set in Reno and I still ain't thinking straight
Daddy oughta be home any day now
Been saying that for years
And I'll see my friends in August but May is still right here
The price of gas is so damn high
And these boys don't treat you right
I wore my best blue jeans today and a tote bag to hold my mind
Mama I been thinking 'bout this girl
It's desolate in Truckee
San Francisco's near maybe under city lights she'll love me
She says honey bring your boots in
Cause running from your gut is so damn wrong
They beat you down til Houston
But stubborn has a way of dragging you on
Put it on a postcard or write it in a song
Say California's so damn lonely when I'm gone
Now her dress is turning grey
What a shame it's laundry day
The dust from mama's books is a good excuse for the tears to drain
And every Friday night she's out for blood
While her girlfriends are all home laughing
And happy hour is cheaper but it don't make her happy
She says honey bring your boots in
Running from your gut is so damn wrong
They beat you down til Houston
But stubborn has a way of dragging you on
So put it on a postcard or write it in a song
Say California's so damn lonely when I'm gone
Put it on a postcard or write it in a song
Say California's so damn lonely when I'm gone
