Song Description

Love gone awry

Lyrics

Since Baby Went Away

Walking down a country road in the summer sun
Feeling every heat wave 'til I'm about half done
If I weren't so lonesome I could have some fun
Just ain't the same since my baby went away

Mistakes I made play over in my mind
Things I did weren't nothing if they weren't unkind
Could have been a thing of beauty if I weren't so blind
Just ain't the same since my baby went away

I'd change the things I always took for granted
But wishing she was here won't make it true
Now the world just seems so dogone slanted
I'm sliding ever closer into blue

Now I'm walking down this country road one more time
If it were any hotter it would be a crime.
And if happiness were money, I wouldn't have a dime
Just ain't the same since baby went away.
