I Thought She Was Gone

[good4somethingbum]

I Thought She Was GoneI kissed my gal goodbye, ‘fore she went to see her momSaid the weekend would be dull, with my sweetheart goneI went straight fer the fridge, then cranked some jamming’ tunesBut she came back for her purse, and saw me in the living roomI was playin’ air guitar, halfway through my second brewSwingin’ my arm around, like that guy in The WhoI thought she was gone, I was just havin’ funShe caught me bein’ me, when I’d just begunHeavy beat shakin’ our country housePoor cat hidin’ scared beneath the couchGuess she didn’t know that kinda thing went onI went a little crazy, cos I thought she was goneThen her mama came to visit, for seven painful daysShe’s like a tough drill sergeant, with a walkin’ caneThe day she fin’lly left, we helped her to her vanShe came back cos she forgot, her cane by the tv standShe caught us on the sofa, both of us were buckJust two hands apiece and lotsa parts to cover upchorusI stood there shocked and couldn’t hide my shameHadda use both my hands to shield me from her caneChorus©2007 Robert George
