The Love’s Already Gone

By Dallas Denny

 

I’ve lived my life in lots of places

Same old song but different faces

Any morning’s sun

Can be the signal to move on

And I’ve suffered through some strange embraces

Run in some peculiar races

It’s time that I was leavin’, girl

‘Cause the love’s already gone

 

I’m used to poor accommodations

Boxcar floors and Greyhound stations

Anywhere I hang my hat

I’m happy to call home

But the love we had

Has took to draggin’

Faces long and spirits sagging

It’s time that I was leavin’, girl

‘Cause the love’s already gone

 

Whatever happened to the good times, Baby

Me your man and you my lady

Lazy days and crazy ways

And stayin’ up ‘till dawn

Did it slip away when we weren’t lookin’

All we got is coldness cookin’

It’s time that I was leavin’, girl

‘Cause the love’s already gone

 

It’s come to fights and accusations

I’ve passed the point of saturation

The hurt I’ll have from leavin’

Will hurt less than stayin’ on

This love has come too close to hatin’

So, pardon me, the road is waitin’

It’s time that I was leavin’, girl

‘Cause the love’s already gone

 

I’ll miss you when I’m state—to—statin’

Your Kliban cats and macrame

The way your hair glows on your pillow

In the early morning sun

And wherever love has gone I’ll chase it

Track it down and fight to face it

It’s time that I was leavin’, girl

‘Cause the love’s already gone

 

Whatever happened to the good times, Baby

Me your man and you my lady

Lazy days and crazy ways

And stayin’ up ‘till dawn

Did it slip away when we weren’t lookin’

All we got is coldness cookin’

It’s time that I was leavin’, girl

‘Cause the love’s already gone
