Somebody's waiting back home in Dallas   With no idea where she has gone   Got her suitcase all packed up   In the back of the pickup   Got her red knee-high luccheses on   She's on any old two-lane   West bound she knows   'Cause she was chasing her shadow   When the sun finally rose   Man, she's just running   It don't matter where   She figures she'll know where she is when she's there      But she didn't leave nothin' she can't do without   That's enough reason for leavin' no doubt   She rolls down the window, turns up a song   Laughs at the weather and says, hello, I'm gone      She broke down in Lubbock   Got it stuck in reverse   So she hitched down the highway   Her little gun in her purse   Got to the station   Stared at the phone   Found herself thinkin' about calling for home      And she didn't leave nothin' she can't do without   That's enough reason for leavin' no doubt   She dropped in a quarter made herself strong   All that she told him was, "Hello, I'm gone"      Then she called up a tow truck   Said, "Fix up what's wrong   I'm paying in cash boys   Hello, I'm gone"
