if this was a joke

id 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 i never did take her seriously

i guess her gift of prophecy was real

amen

(chorus)

babys gone

baby aint to blame

thatd 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 im 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 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, anthing

anywhere

anyhow

(repeat chorus)

thats the name of the song

babys gone
