I took my Chevy down to Baton Rouge
I left my woman in an awful mood
Last time I saw her she was callin’ me some real bad names

She got the house and the place in France
She was a piece of work but she could dance
I couldn’t take another day of her b*** in’ games

Chorus:

I won’t look back - I won’t back down
I won’t dwell on mighta beens and my hometown
We had some times baby you and me
Sometimes I miss you but at least I’m free


She moved her momma in and that was wrong
Came for the weekend but she stayed too long
I had to spend too many nights out with all my friends

Then she found out ‘bout the girl in Maine
Seemed to think I was the one to blame
She packed my bags with my cut up clothes - amen

Chorus


Lead

I made a friend at the side of the road
She said she had nowhere better to go
You’d think by now I’d know just when to leave alone

She smiled at me and wearing tight blue jeans
I think I knew she wasn’t all she seemed
And then her momma stepped up and said where we goin’

Chorus

Scat and fade.......
