The Day That She Left Tulsa (In a Chevy)

We were half a mile high on the ferris wheel at our old county fair

I didn't even know we had trouble, until she told me way up there

That's when my life started spinning round

My world came crashing to the ground the day that she left Tulsa

In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain

Where the caution light's flashin' in the passin' lane

From a bridge I watched our dreams goin', down the drain

In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain

No, she wasn't showin' yet, but she'd be by Christmas time

Up there like a fool I took for granted it was mine

She never came out and told me that I was wrong

But all of a sudden the light came on the day that she left Tulsa

In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain

Where the caution light's flashin' in the passin' lane

From a bridge I watched our dreams goin', down the drain

In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain

I guess she thought the truth would end up drivin' me away

But she was wrong, but I never had the chance to say

The day that she left Tulsa

In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain

In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain

In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain

Where the caution light's flashin' in the passin' lane

From a bridge I watched our dreams goin', down the drain

In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain

In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain

In a chevy, in a hurry, in the pourin' down rain
