Well my baby's not here in town tonight this old town just don't seem right

Even my old friends don't seem the same to me

Well my baby's not here in town tonight these old lights don't shine as bright

And I'm hidin' tears till I can hardly see

Well he's been acting kinda strange I should've guessed what lay ahead

But I keep wondering if it's things I've done or if it's things I've said

Well my baby's not here in town tonight this old town just don't seem right

And I'm hidin' tears till I can hardly see

Well well my baby's not here in town tonight...

And I'm hoping soon that she'll return to me
