When She's Gone, She's Gone - Brooks & Dunn

作词：Tom Douglas/Waylon Holyfield

作曲：Tom Douglas/Waylon Holyfield

Saw an old friend last night

I hadn't seen in a couple of years

Stopped in Galatoire's had a couple of beers

Talked about the price of oysters the coach at L S U

Then like I knew it would

The conversation turned to you

He had to go

and I looked at my watch it was 1:45

I headed down canal the quarter was coming alive

A man on the corner told me

that Jesus was coming soon

But I was lost in the music and the crowd

And the smell of cheap perfume

It's not good for a man to be alone

But a women needs someone

that she can count on

And I walked down by the river

in the cold gray dawn

And love is like the Mississippi

When she's gone she's gone

The line was long at Caf-Du-Monde

so I walked out on the pier

Thought about the winds

and turns mistakes that got me here

I might as well try to change the course

that this old river takes

Than to go back in time

when you were mine

Pretend it's not too late

It's not good for a man to be alone

But a women needs someone

that she can count on and

What I'd give to go back

but the current's just too strong

And love is like the Mississippi

When she's gone she's gone

It's not good for a man to be alone

But a women needs someone that she can count on

What I'd give to go back

but the current's just too strong

And love is like the Mississippi

When she's gone she's gone

Yeah she's gone
