She's Gone Away

She's gone away

Never would have thought

That she was ever gonna come

Back again

But by the time I closed my eyes

She crawled in to my bed

Asking, 'Where's my money?'

Both barrels are loaded

Fired one through the ceiling

She's a castaway

But she was too clean

In her boots and her jeans to be a

Run away

I picked her up when she was thumbing a ride

She told me about her brother

Like he was bloodline to me

But as the years went by

She never said why

The reasons he was serving

Time

She said I ain't got time

But I could see it

(I could see it)

(I could see it)

In her eyes

The lies

She's gone away

Never would have thought

That she was ever gonna come

Back to say

She was putting out the forest fire

So I left two rounds

Where they're usually found

(on the) bedside table

And as the stars shone down

There was only one around

To tell the end of the tale
