(David Lee Murphy/Kim Tribble)
She left town with the guitar man
From the Delta Outlaws hillbilly band
They played the Elks and the Eagles club
The VFW and the Holiday Inn
No matter what big stories he told her
This little town was too small to hold her
She always said she had to get out of here
Had to get outta this place
She always had her heart set on Hollywood
Heaven knows she had the face
There wasnât nothinâ that she couldnât do
Once she got the thought in her head
Iâm here âtil Iâm gone
And thatâs what she always said
Well she left him with a heart broke grin
On a first class flight outta New Orleans
Her plane disappeared as he was wavinâ goodbye
He could only imagine she was wavinâ at him
But heâs not the first and he wonât be the last
She wouldâve told him but he didnât ask
She always said she had to get out of here
Had to get outta this place
She always had her heart set on Hollywood
Heaven knows she had the face
There wasnât nothinâ that she couldnât do
Once she got the thought in her head
Iâm here âtil Iâm gone
And thatâs what she always said
She ainât the kind to let herself
Be tied down to anything
I know I didnât wanna listen
Anytime she started talkinâ that way
She always said she had to get out of here
Had to get outta this place
She always had her heart set on Hollywood
Heaven knows she had the face
There wasnât nothinâ that she couldnât do
Once she got the thought in her head
Iâm here âtil Iâm gone
And thatâs what she always said
