If this was a joke
I'd be laughing by now
cuttin' up with the boys
and braggin' bout how
I talked my way
out of the trouble I was in
again
She kept sayin'
You're gunna miss me
but never did take her seriously
I guess her gift of prophecy was real
amen
(chorus)
babys gone
baby aint to blame
that'd be my fault
me and my no brain
might'a took a train to Tupelo
might'a been Tulsa for all I know
talk about movin' on
babys gone
I admit I'm the type
needs a wake-up call
sometimes you gotta hit me
with a cannonball
I guess baby goin' AWOL did the trick
pretty quick
now the trick is
gettin that girl back home
gonna get in the car
get on the phone
if I have to call everybody she's ever known
and tell'em this
(repeat chorus)
if you wanted my attention
you've got it now
baby, anything
anywhere
anyhow
(repeat chorus)
thats the name of the song
babys gone
