Mmmmmmmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Well he's gone to find his way again
Said he lost his only friend
He's got a jar of cash to spend
He's running off just like he done before
And he made a stop down at the tracks
Sold his favorite leather hat
Told the man he won't be back
And rounded out an old, unsettled score
But loou hoo oooh
This ain't the first time
That I've been left behind
Like cook his lunch and wash his clothes
And tend the fence and shoot the crows
Somewhere in there we got close
Let's say a handyman was hard to find
Well he bought the farm
I sold my car
He let me wear the silver star
He's quicker than a steel guitar
But always warned he ain't the lovin' kind
I told him
Whoo hoo ooo
This ain't the first time
That I've been left behind
Well some days I cry like a child
Other days I ramble wild
He got me so God damn beguiled
I don't even know his middle name
He's been lost and found before
I stopped waiting by the door
But I still love him to the core
I only wish that he could do the same
But loooh hoo ooo
This ain't the first time
That I've been left behind
Well he don't call and he don't write
He slips on in after midnight
I never turned off my porchlight
He always finds his way back to my place
And I never asked him for a ring
He gave me this song to sing
And helped himself to everything
And now I'm here without a speck of grace
But loooh hoo ooo
This ain't the first time
That I've been left behind
Left behind
