Lyrics

She had her car loaded all down Pointed east as she headed on out But I had no idea how long it'd take There ain't a tree, no there ain't a rock Nothing on that horizon to block The sad view of my baby driving away (Chorus) Yeah there she was kicking up dust And out here a man can see for miles Yeah and time don't fly Losing love is always tough But here in west Texas it takes a while to say goodbye It's bad enough she's gone, gone, gone But I had to watch her leave me all day long I should have known that she wouldn't dig The rattle snakes and risty oil rigs Living here wasn't her idea of fun I sat and whittled me a big ol' stick Down to nothing but a little tooth pick Just waiting on her to get here leaving done
