If this was a joke
I´d 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 never did take her seriously
I guess her gift of prophecy was real
amen

(chorus)
babys gone
baby aint to blame
that´d 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 I´m 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 girl back home
gonna get in the car
get on the 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, anything
anywhere
anyhow

(repeat chorus)
thats the name of the song
babys gone
