Intro: CF (4x)
---
CF
Somebody's waiting back home in Dallas
CF
With no idea where she has gone
CF
Got her suitcase all packed up, in the back of a pickup
CF
Got her red knee-high Luccheses on
---
GF ~ C
She's on any old two-lane, west-bound, she knows
GFG
She was chasing her shadow, when the sun finally rose
CF
And man, she's just running, it don't matter where
CGGadd9GC
She figures she'll know where she is when she's there
Chorus:
FCFC
And she didn't leave nothing she can't do without
FC ~ ~ G ~ ~
That's enough reason for leaving, no doubt
CFCF
She rolls down the window, turns up a song
CGC
Laughs at the weather and says, "Hello, I'm gone"
Instrumental: CFCFCFCFGF ~ C
She broke down in Lubbock, got it stuck in reverse
GFG
So she hitched down the highway, her little gun in her purse
CF
Got to the station, she stared at the phone
CGGadd9GC
Found herself thinking about calling for home
Chorus:
FCFC
But she didn't leave nothing she can't do without
FC ~ ~ G ~ ~
And that's enough reason for leaving, no doubt
CFCF
She dropped in a quarter, made herself strong
CGCFCF
All that she told him was, "Hello, I'm gone"
CFCF
Then she called up a tow-truck, said, "Fix up what's wrong____
CGC
I'm paying in cash, boys, "Hello, I'm gone"
