You're not gone,
really gone
You'll be back, I know you will
You're just taking a walk
on the wild side of life
In my house are many heartaches
Loneliness is all around
Since you left me for the life
Of nights out on the town
I've got memories by the dozens
But I can't throw one away
Everything's just like you left it
And that's how it's gonna stay
You're not gone, really gone
You'll be back, I know you will
You're just takin' a walk
on the wild side of life
Till the bright lights lose their glamour,
and the music all its charm.
Till you tire of honky -tonks
that took you from my arms
This old house of many heartaches
holds love enough for two
And everything's just like you left it
waiting just for you
You're not gone, really gone,
you'll be back, I know you will
You're just taking a walk
on the wild side of life
