You Went Away

You Went Away


So why should I care less what people say
I'm gonna love you though you went away

You took my poor heart
Dragged it right down the street
Broke it in pieces
Swept it under your feet
All I ever did
was love you before
A long, long time ago
But, Baby, no more

This bottle of whiskey
says all that needs to be said
It tells our love story
Now, it's time to put you to bed
Your memory still lingers
There's so much to recall
I stumble with my feelings
Right through the wall

The sun's shining brightly
It's a brand new day
Misery loves company
And, you're here to stay
A broken down bar stool
Just ain't what I need
But, it's a paradise mansion
For a lonely ole fool

So, why should I care less
What people say
I'm gonna love you
Though you went away
