INTRO: C F (4x)
C F
Somebody's waiting back home in Dallas
C F
With no idea where she has gone
C F
Got her suitcase all packed up, in the back of a pickup
C F
Got her red knee-high Luccheses on
G F ~ C
She's on any old two-lane, west-bound, she knows
G F G
She was chasing her shadow, when the sun finally rose
C F
And man, she's just running, it don't matter where
C G Gadd9 G C
She figures she'll know where she is when she's there
CHORUS:
F C F C
And she didn't leave nothing she can't do without
F C ~ ~ G ~ ~
That's enough reason for leaving, no doubt
C F C F
She rolls down the window, turns up a song
C G C
Laughs at the weather and says, "Hello, I'm gone"
INSTRUMENTAL: C F C F C F C F
G F ~ C
She broke down in Lubbock, got it stuck in reverse
G F G
So she hitched down the highway, her little gun in her purse
C F
Got to the station, she stared at the phone
C G Gadd9 G C
Found herself thinking about calling for home
CHORUS:
F C F C
But she didn't leave nothing she can't do without
F C ~ ~ G ~ ~
And that's enough reason for leaving, no doubt
C F C F
She dropped in a quarter, made herself strong
C G C F C F
All that she told him was, "Hello, I'm gone"
C F C F
Then she called up a tow-truck, said, "Fix up what's wrong____
C G C
I'm paying in cash, boys, "Hello, I'm gone"
