Goin' Goin' Gone Lyrics

What you get is what you see 

With a small town home grown boy like me 

My father's father's blood runs deep as his dreams that I still hold dear 

And hard days work- yeah, it gives me pride 

And my words are the fuel for the fire inside 

Of the heart that she outgrew like this town here 

Well, if 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 she's there in Amarillo 

'Bout that note beneath my pillow… 

Why'd I have to read what I could not see about my ways that rubbed her wrong 

when she was goin', goin', gone?

A heartland girl with uptown eyes 

My old fashioned views missed her disguise 

I'd have never guessed she'd have pawned our love for a pair of walking shoes 

Well, I hope those big plans all work out 

And she makes her name- but I have no doubt 

She'll one day see what it's all about 

Is this life she swore to lose 

Well, if 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 she's there in Amarillo 

'Bout that note beneath my pillow… 

Why'd I have to read what I could not see about my ways that rubbed her wrong 

when she was goin', goin', gone?

(Repeat)
