Leland Loftis

Lyrics

[Verse 1] When she went away He knew the meanin' of a rainy day His dreams took wing and flew away [Verse 2] When she said goodbye He saw the sun pack up and leave the sky He drew an ace but the king was high [Verse 3] Leland Loftis can't get off to sleep No appointments left for him to keep He serves the soup down at old Cactus Pete For a trailer to sleep in and all he can eat [Chorus] Tellin' lies to everyone in town How it was the day he put her down He remembers how it was the day she said goodbye Leland Loftis sits and wonders why Leland Loftis sits and wonders why [Bridge] Why she went away (Why) Why she couldn't stay (Why) Why his dreams took wing and flew away (Why) Why she said goodbye (Why) She didn't even try (Why) Why she had to lie Leland Loftis sits and wonders Leland Loftis sits and wonders Leland Loftis sits and wonders [Chorus] Leland Loftis can't get off to sleep No appointments left for him to keep He remembers how it was the day she said goodbye Leland Loftis sits and wonders why Leland Loftis sits and wonders why [Outro] Ah, ah-ah-ah Ah, ah-ah-ah Leland Loftis sits and wonders why
