Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I stood in the corner
Till my feet got wet
I stood by the faucet
Till the sink filled up
I stood by the window
Until the moon came up
My baby bought a ticket
Long as my clothes line
Na, na, na, na, na-na-na
Na, na, na
[Verse 2]
My baby went and left me
In a '49 Ford
Goin' down the highway in a '49 sword
My baby ripped my heart out
With every turn of the moon
Somebody told me
There's never been a rose without a thorn
Na, na, na, na, na-na-na
Na, na, na
[Verse 3]
Well I'm just another sad guest
Of this dark earth
And if I was a tree
I'd be a cut down tree
And if I was a bed
I'd be an unmade bed
I'll get my .32-20 and it'll have to do
Na, na, na, na, na-na-na
Na, na, na, na, hey
[Verse 4]
Gone like the wind in the meadow
And the rain on the hills
You even left your lipstick
And your powder and your blush
Baby gonna leave me
On a Grey Hound Bus
The stars are meltin'
All across the sky
Na, na, na, na, na-na-na
Na, na, na
[Verse 5]
I let the dog out
But he didn't come back
Stood on the corner
Till my feet got wet
Baby leave me
In a '49 Ford
I stood by the window
Until the moon came up
Na, na, na, na, na-na-na
Na, na, na, na, na, na
