Where You Gonna Go?
(专辑: Honkytonk University - 2005)
June fell for Johnny on the
Forth of July, As the
fireworks popped in the
summer sky. With a
spark in her eye, she just there an' stared, As his face lit up to the
rocket's red glare. An' by September, she'd asked him for a
weddiing band. How could she know he was a
rambling man. He walked out the
door in the
dead of the
night. An' a
sleepy voice whispered, as he turned out the
light: "Where you gonna go? "What you gonna do when you get there? "Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the
sea? "Oh, you're never gonna find, "Someone who loves you like I
do. "If you get tired of running, "You can turn around an' walk back to me." He called up to tell her he missed her a
lot. Texas Panhandle was as far as he got. He'd run out money, he'd run of luck: He'd run out of gas in his pick-up truck. "Hitch a
ride, catch a
train or a
Greyhound bus, "'Cause there's a
baby on the
way an' that makes three of us. "An' I
need you here beside me, I
can't go it alone," She told him one more time then she hung up the
'phone, Sayin': "Where you gonna go? "What you gonna do when you get there? "Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the
sea? "You know, you're never gonna find, "Someone who loves you like I
do. "When you get tired of running, "You can turn around an' walk back to me." An' the
years just seemed to roll on by them. She missed him more an' more every day. An' that boy grew up to look and act just like him, An' she knew some day soon he'd be old enough to fly away. An' she'd say: "Baby, where you gonna go? "What you gonna do when you get there? "Who you gonna call when your road runs out at the
sea? "You know, you're never gonna find, "Someone who loves you like I
do. "When you get tired of running, "You can turn around an' walk back to me." "If you ever get tired of running, "Turn around an' walk back to me."
