I got off from work early,
Had a gold band surprise
But when I stepped into your parlor
I could not believe my eyes
You were gone
Not a sign of you there
You were gone
All of my stuff piled in the corner by the door
But you were gone

You were gone (you were gone long gone)
Yea gone
Not here where you belong
You were gone
I called your sister just to see
Where in the world you might be
She said gone…………that’s right

She jumped into my car
A nd we headed for the county line
Your little sister was distracting,
She was looking real fine
And you were gone
She’s sittin right next to me
And you were gone
I never thought I’d ever be looking at you
But now I’m free
And you’re gone……………………Yea

You were gone
You were gone
You thought that I’d just tag along,
You were wrong
You never thought I’d ever be in love with her, but I guarantee that you’re gone

And now the gold band surprise
is just the right size and you can see
It fits the pretty little hand of your little sister and she’s staying right here with me

And you’re gone
You were gone
You thought that I’d just tag along,
You were wrong
You never thought I’d ever be in love with her, but I guarantee that you’re gone
