You could say I was content
Me, I wouldn't even trying
Left a hole in daddy's lap and a tear in mama's eye
Charlie was his name
And they said, "She left quite a string of broken hearts behind"
Blew out the other end
When she took to running wild
She went through my life like lightning
She stole his watch and chain
And if I could you know that I would do it all again
Just when he thought he got lucky
They didn't understand at all
She always kept on movin' and she never wasted time
Well I still taste her kisses, smell her perfume in the wind
She left town one day and never said goodbye
She met a boy up in Kentucky
Where'd we go wrong and now she's gone
Woke up alone and now she's gone
