Turned my car down a shaded road
Intent to visit my baby's home
Regretted leaving seven years ago
Cause all I found
Was a headstone
I asked her mama when
The end had come, she said
Right after I had gone
She only said that it was
Time to go and
Then, she said, she made it so
So along the fields I drove
Remembered smoking at
Drive in shows
Sneaking in through her window
Her laying there, breathing slow
We took pictures on the rail road track
Went out dancing with boys in drag
I never said I wasn't coming back I
Never said that I would go
Then one day, I heard Tom Petty
Thought I should go and see my baby
So I turned down the road that's shady
Wondering if I'm too bold
With her departed from this life
Darkness has overcome the light
So lay a headstone down as mine
Cause it's time for me to go
Go
