You're not gone really gone

You'll be back I know you will

You're just taking a walk

On the wild side of life

In my house are many heartaches

Loneliness is all around

Since you left for the life

Of nights out on the town

I've got memories by the dozen

But I can't throw one away

Everything's just like you left it

And that's how it's gonna stay

Your're not gone really gone

You'll be back I know you will

Your're just taking a walk

On the wild side of life

Till the bright lights lose their glamor

And the music of it's charm

Until you tire of all the honky tonks

That took you from my arms

This old house of many heartaches

Hold a love enough for two

And everything's just like you left it

Waiting here for you

Your're not gone really gone

You'll be back I know you will

Your're just taking a walk

On the wild side of life

Your're not gone really gone

You'll be back I know you will

Your're just taking a walk

On the wild side of life
