LAST SEEN IN GAINESVILLE

Last seen in Gainesville
Getting in a car
Maybe 12.30
Maybe too far
It’s not like there were problems
That I knew about
Maybe she just got restless
Had to get out

Last seen in Gainesville
Last Friday night
She went out for cigarettes
Maybe she needed a light
Saw that open window
Made her getaway
Without a word or looking back
She took that lost highway

Now she won’t see her baby grow into a man
And I tried to be the best husband
Where oh where oh where is that girl?
Did she go by choice or against her will?
That is the question that haunts me at night
When she went away
She took my life

Last seen in Gainesville
What did I do wrong?
To make her run so fast from where she belongs
If I’d only listened
To what she never said
Then I could sleep at night
Quit thinking she’s dead

Now she won’t see her baby grow into a man
And I tried to be the best husband
Where oh where oh where is that girl?
Did she go by choice or against her will?
That is the question that haunts me at night
When she went away
She took my life

Last seen in Gainesville
Ten years ago
I should stop waiting
But you never know
Once I thought I saw her
But I was wrong
I leave a light on
Maybe she’ll come home
