(David Lee MurphyKim Tribble)



She left town with the guitar man

From the Delta Outlaws hillbilly band

They played the Elks and the Eagles club

The VFW and the Holiday Inn

No matter what big stories he told her

This little town was too small to hold her



She always said she had to get out of here

Had to get outta this place

She always had her heart set on Hollywood

Heaven knows she had the face

There wasnt nothin that she couldnt do

Once she got the thought in her head

Im here til Im gone

And thats what she always said



Well she left him with a heart broke grin

On a first class flight outta New Orleans

Her plane disappeared as he was wavin goodbye

He could only imagine she was wavin at him

But hes not the first and he wont be the last

She wouldve told him but he didnt ask



She always said she had to get out of here

Had to get outta this place

She always had her heart set on Hollywood

Heaven knows she had the face

There wasnt nothin that she couldnt do

Once she got the thought in her head

Im here til Im gone

And thats what she always said



She aint the kind to let herself

Be tied down to anything

I know I didnt wanna listen

Anytime she started talkin that way



She always said she had to get out of here

Had to get outta this place

She always had her heart set on Hollywood

Heaven knows she had the face

There wasnt nothin that she couldnt do

Once she got the thought in her head

Im here til Im gone

And thats what she always said
