C G D
Everybody's buying little baby clothes

Well, Miranda ran away

Took her cat and left LA

Early in October fall
B7
That's the way that it goes
Em
That's the way
Em
While the dark ones go to bed
Em
With good whiskey in their head
B7
That's the way that it goes
Em
That's the way
Em
Now Billy Joe's back in the tank
Em
You tell Russo, I'll tell Frank

Did she leave him for that swell?

When you lay me down to rest

Leave a pistol in my vest

Do you miss my gentle touch?

Did I hurt you very much?
