INTRO: C   F   (4x)

C                  F
Somebody's waiting back home in Dallas
     C                     F
With no idea where she has gone
        C                              F
Got her suitcase all packed up, in the back of a pickup
        C                       F
Got her red knee-high Luccheses on


         G                 F           ~   C
She's on any old two-lane, west-bound, she knows
        G                            F           G
She was chasing her shadow, when the sun finally rose
    C                           F
And man, she's just running, it don't matter where
    C                             G  Gadd9 G     C
She figures she'll know where she is when  she's there


CHORUS:
        F            C           F            C
And she didn't leave nothing she can't do without
F             C              ~    ~  G    ~ ~
That's enough reason for leaving, no doubt
    C              F       C          F
She rolls down the window, turns up a song
C                                G         C
Laughs at the weather and says, "Hello, I'm gone"


INSTRUMENTAL: C F   C   F   C   F   C   F


    G                             F        ~ C
She broke down in Lubbock, got it stuck in reverse
       G                                    F          G
So she hitched down the highway, her little gun in her purse
C                       F
Got to the station, she stared at the phone
C                            G   Gadd9 G   C
Found herself thinking about calling   for home


CHORUS:
        F            C           F            C
But she didn't leave nothing she can't do without
    F             C              ~    ~  G    ~ ~
And that's enough reason for leaving, no doubt
    C            F        C            F
She dropped in a quarter, made herself strong
C                           G         C      F  C  F
All that she told him was, "Hello, I'm gone"
         C           F                 C             F
Then she called up a tow-truck, said, "Fix up what's wrong____
    C                      G         C   
I'm paying in cash, boys, "Hello, I'm gone"
