The Day That She Left Tulsa (In a Chevy)
We were half a mile high on the ferris wheel at our old county fair
I didn't even know we had trouble, until she told me way up there
That's when my life started spinning round
My world came crashing to the ground the day that she left Tulsa
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
Where the caution light's flashin' in the passin' lane
From a bridge I watched our dreams goin', down the drain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
No, she wasn't showin' yet, but she'd be by Christmas time
Up there like a fool I took for granted it was mine
She never came out and told me that I was wrong
But all of a sudden the light came on the day that she left Tulsa
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
Where the caution light's flashin' in the passin' lane
From a bridge I watched our dreams goin', down the drain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
I guess she thought the truth would end up drivin' me away
But she was wrong, but I never had the chance to say
The day that she left Tulsa
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
Where the caution light's flashin' in the passin' lane
From a bridge I watched our dreams goin', down the drain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
I didn't even know we had trouble, until she told me way up there
That's when my life started spinning round
My world came crashing to the ground the day that she left Tulsa
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
Where the caution light's flashin' in the passin' lane
From a bridge I watched our dreams goin', down the drain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
No, she wasn't showin' yet, but she'd be by Christmas time
Up there like a fool I took for granted it was mine
She never came out and told me that I was wrong
But all of a sudden the light came on the day that she left Tulsa
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
Where the caution light's flashin' in the passin' lane
From a bridge I watched our dreams goin', down the drain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
I guess she thought the truth would end up drivin' me away
But she was wrong, but I never had the chance to say
The day that she left Tulsa
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
Where the caution light's flashin' in the passin' lane
From a bridge I watched our dreams goin', down the drain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
