I had a girl, sweet as peaches
Her eyes as bright as the 'Bama beaches
Kissed me goodbye, left me speechless
She don't love me no more
I can't draw from a dry well
I head down the lonesome trail
Lord, I figured what the hell
She don't love me no more
I can get down to Houston, I can get there by dawn
There's plenty of stuff in that city to get something good going on
I won't keep on coming if she don't want me around
'Cause she stole my heart and killed my pride
But she can't put me in the ground
My best friend since junior high
Half as good looking and twice as wild
He and my sweetheart started making eyes
Now she don't love me no more
I can get down to Mobile, I can get there by five
I got just enough money to get on with my life
But I won't keep on coming if she don't want me around
'Cause she stole my heart, killed my pride
But she can't put me in the ground
I can head to Houston, I can get there by dawn
I got just enough money to get something good going on
I won't keep on coming if she don't want me around
She stole my heart, she killed my pride
But she can't put me in the ground
