Everybody Knows
"Hello, I'm Gone"
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, westbound she knows
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
And she didn’t leave nothing she can’t do without
That’s enough reason for leaving, 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 thinking about calling for home
But she didn’t leave nothing she can’t do without
That’s enough reason for leaving no doubt
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"
