Lyrics

He watched her pack her bags She would soon be on her way Following some rich kid to L.A Auburn hair was flowing Right down past her knees He watched her turn her back on Tennessee Good as gold that's how I'll remember you And those eyes of delta blue Good for you turn your back on Tennessee You knew what you got to do Heaven knows if its wrong or if it's right She is leaving at first light Here I stay if I wasn't so afraid I would chase her down tonight She called him one night crying from some bar below At a crowded party, all alone She said I'm the great pretender Drifting through the days Painting blank expressions on my face Good as gold that's how I'll remember you And those eyes of delta blue Good for you turn your back on Tennessee You knew what you got to do Heaven knows if its wrong or if it's right She is leaving at first light Here I stay if I wasn't so afraid I would chase her down tonight I've never been the wild kind Some kind of flaw in my design I couldn't cross the county line Good as gold that's how I'll remember you And those eyes of delta blue Good for you turn your back on Tennessee You know what you got to do Heaven knows if its wrong or if it's right She is leaving at first light Here I stay if I wasn't so afraid I would chase her down tonight
