Hello, I'm Gone

back home in dallas
no idea where she has gone
got her suitcase all packed up
in the back of the pickup
got her re knee-high luccheses on
she's on any old two-lane
west bound she knows
cause she was chasing her shadow
when the sun finally rose
man, she's just running
it don't matter where
she figures she'll know where she is
when she's there
she didn't leave nothin' she can't do without
that's enough reason for leaving no doubt
she rolls down the window, turns up a song
laughs at the weather says hello, i'm gone
instrumental
she broke down in lubbock
got stuck in reverse
so she hitched down the highway
her little gun in her purse
got to the station
stared at the phone
found herself thinkin' about calling for home
she didn't leave nothin' she can't do without
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
hung up, called the tow truck
said fix up what's wrong
i'm paying in cash, boys
hello, i'm gone
hello, so long
