Lyrics When She's Gone - Mary Chapin Carpenter
She
threw
her
purse
upon
the
bed
She
looked
around
and
shook
her
head
There's
really
nothing
left
she
said
There's
nothing
I
ain't
done
She
wore
your
favorite
dress
tonight
She
hoped
her
hair
would
catch
the
light
And
you
just
sat
there
getting
tight
On
double
shots
of
rum
You
don't
care
what
people
say
They're
gonna
say
it
anyway
You
don't
hear
what
you
can't
use
It's
always
been
the
same
old
news
You
don't
beg
and
you
don't
plead
Or
miss
a
thing
that
you
don't
need
She
knew
by
the
way
you
kissed
her
When
she's
gone,
you
won't
miss
her
Morning
comes
on
an
old
cat's
paws
And
when
the
sun
hits
the
walls
The
light's
as
bright
was
it
ever
was
After
or
before
And
you
wince
as
waking
pounds
your
head
And
you
drag
your
arm
across
the
bed
And
the
tangled
sheets
and
the
twisted
spread
Fall
onto
the
floor
And
the
kitchen
table
finds
you
silent
If
you
had
a
thought
now
you
can't
find
it
You
take
a
long
drag
on
your
smoke
And
taste
your
coffee
growing
cold
She
didn't
beg
and
you
didn't
plead
She
knew
exactly
how
to
leave
The
way
she
knew
when
you
kissed
her
When
she's
gone
you
won't
miss
her
She
didn't
beg
and
you
didn't
plead
She
knew
exactly
when
to
leave
The
way
she
knew
as
you
kissed
her
When
she's
gone
you
won't
miss
her
