and as the conversation drags I try to think of something quickly

'cause if I don't move too fast she'll be gne and I'll be wondering why

I took so many trips I sang too many songs

I said one too many times I won't be gone that long



my little lady she's so glad so glad I'm sad

we were happy together

and with a ticket in her hand that hand sweet hand

I think I'll lose her forever



And as I struggle for my words she grabs her bags so nonchalantly

I guess there were way too many goodbyes

they were the hardest thing I've ever done

I took so many trips I sang so many songs

I said one too many times I won't be gone that long



my little lady she's so glad so glad I'm sad

we were happy together

and with a ticket in her hand that hand sweet hand

I think I'll lose her forever



you think I would have listened

you'd think I'd learned my lesson

I gave in to competition

and all the trappings of the modern man



my little lady she's so glad so glad I'm sad

we were happy together

and with a ticket in her hand that hand sweet hand

I think I'll lose her forever
