Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Momma cried when you left me
You know she's always loved you so
She said, "Hey fool, what the hell did you do?"
I said, "No, Mom, I swear to God I just don't know"
[Verse 2]
Picture book sittin' on the table
Memories we've stacked up through the years
But tonight there ain't no pictures on them pages
'Cause you're the kind that gone
Ain't never coming back home again
[Verse 3]
Yeah, tonight all the dancehalls are empty
No young lovers on the floor
And so I'll sit here with my whiskey
Drink it till I just can't drink no more
[Verse 4]
And I don't know why you had to leave me
And all I really know is that you're gone, long gone
And everywhere I go I just feel lonely
You're the only life I've ever known
[Verse 5]
I guess you heard the highway calling
You packed up your things and headed for the coast
And I had to fight the urge to follow
I guess some time away from me
Is all you've ever really needed most
[Verse 6]
And tonight you know this whole damn town is empty
And I don't think I can take it anymore
And so I'll sit here with my whiskey
Drink it till I just can't drink no more
[Verse 7]
A late night phone call from the East Coast
Said she'd had enough, she's comin' on back home
I guess she went out and got crazy for awhile
But if she leaves right now maybe she'll make Memphis by the dawn
[Verse 8]
And tonight you know this whole damn house is empty
Tomorrow will be like it was before
And so I'll put away my whiskey
Guess I just don't need it anymore
[Verse 9]
Yeah, I'll put away my whiskey
Guess I just don't need it anymore
