When I stopped to ask directions
When this girl said hello,
I drink her too, mix me up,
I said, I know that's how
I won't be home, home, home
I'll be strong, strong, strong,
my love is gone, gone, gone
I said my love would last
But when you least expect it,
Girl, it's bound to hurt you,
but there's nothing I can do
I never thought that anyone could
take the place of even now
I won't be home, home, home, Martha
Be strong, strong, strong,
my love is gone, gone, gone,
Gone, gone, gone I will be
Home, home, home my love is
Strong, strong, strong my love is
Gone, gone, gone my love is gone
