You were always there For the last seven years Sleeping in a bed Resting your pretty little head You started sleeping lighter And lighter every night You were already up making coffee By the dawn's early light Well, I was happy dreamin' In our happy home And I woke up I was alone It just dawned on me You're gone You're gone An old flame caught your eye And whispered in your ear Songs of whiskey dreams To spirit you away from here Your mama and your daddy Slept in a soft feather bed I hope you wind up in the jailhouse With a cement floor for your head Cause I'll be happy dreamin' In our happy home I'll wake up I'll be alone It just dawned on me You're gone Thank God you're gone
