Goin` goin` gone lyrics

Artist  : Nelson 
Song : Goin` goin` gone
 

What you get is what you see 
With a small town home grown boy like me 
My father`s father`s blood runs deep as his
dreams that I still hold dear 

And hard days work- yeah, it gives me pride 
And my words are the fuel for the fire inside 
Of the heart that she outgrew like this town here


Well, if you see my girl in Austin, 
Tell her I miss what we lost when 
she walked out the door to return no more 
to the life that she belongs 
and if she`s there in Amarillo 
`Bout that note beneath my pillow¡­ 
Why`d I have to read what I could not see about
my ways that rubbed her wrong 
when she was goin`, goin`, gone?

A heartland girl with uptown eyes 
My old fashioned views missed her disguise 
I`d have never guessed she`d have pawned our love
for a pair of walking shoes 
Well, I hope those big plans all work out 
And she makes her name- but I have no doubt 
She`ll one day see what it`s all about 
Is this life she swore to lose 

Well, if you see my girl in Austin, 
Tell her I miss what we lost when 
she walked out the door to return no more 
to the life that she belongs 
and if she`s there in Amarillo 
`Bout that note beneath my pillow¡­ 
Why`d I have to read what I could not see about
my ways that rubbed her wrong 
when she was goin`, goin`, gone?

(Repeat)
