With no idea where she has gone
 Got her suitcase all packed up
 In the back of the pickup
 Got her red knee-high luccheses on
 She's on any old two-lane
 West bound she knows
 'Cause she was chasing her shadow
 When the sun finally rose
 Man, she's just running
 It don't matter where
 She figures she'll know where she is when she's there

 But she didn't leave nothin' she can't do without
 That's enough reason for leavin' no doubt
 She rolls down the window, turns up a song
 Laughs at the weather and says, hello, I'm gone

 She broke down in Lubbock
 Got it stuck in reverse
 So she hitched down the highway
 Her little gun in her purse
 Got to the station
 Stared at the phone
 Found herself thinkin' about calling for home

 And she didn't leave nothin' she can't do without
 That's enough reason for leavin' no doubt
 She dropped in a quarter made herself strong
 All that she told him was, "Hello, I'm gone"

 Then she called up a tow truck
 Said, "Fix up what's wrong
 I'm paying in cash boys
 Hello, I'm gone
