The Day That She Left Tulsa (In A Chevy)

(album: When The Wrong One Loves You Right - 1998)

We were half a mile high on the Ferris wheel at our old county fair
I didn't even know we had trouble until she told me way up there
That's when my life started spinning round
My world came crashing to the ground the day that she left Tulsa

In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pouring down rain
With the caution lights flashing, in the passing, lane
From a bridge I watched our dreams going, down the drain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pouring down rain

No she wasn't showing yet but she'd be by Christmas time
Up there like a fool I took for granted it was mine
She never came out and told me that I was wrong
But all of a sudden the light came on the day that she left Tulsa

In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pouring down rain
With the caution lights flashing, in the passing, lane
From a bridge I watched our dreams going, down the drain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pouring down rain

I guess she thought the truth would end up driving me away
But she was wrong but I never had the chance to say
The day that she left Tulsa
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pouring down rain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pouring down rain

In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pouring down rain
With the caution lights flashing, in the passing, lane
From a bridge I watched our dreams going, down the drain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pouring down rain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pouring down rain
In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pouring down rain
