Intro: He watched her pack her bags She would soon be on her way Following some rich kid to LA Auburn hair was flowing Right down past her knees He watched her turn her back on Tennessee Good as gold That's how I'll remember you With those eyes of delta blue Good for you Turn your back on Tennessee You knew what you got to do Heaven knows If it's wrong or if it's right She'll be leaving at first light Here I stay If I wasn't so afraid I would chase her down tonight She called him one night crying From the room below (???) At some crowded party all alone She said I'm the great pretender Drifting through the days Painting blank expressions on my face Good a gold That's how I'll remember you With those eyes of delta blue Good for you Turn your back on Tennessee You knew what you got to do Heaven knows If it's wrong or if it's right She'll be leaving at first light Here I stay If I wasn't so afraid I would chase her down tonight I wish I was the wild kind Some kind of flaw in my design Why can't I cross the county line Good a gold That's how I'll remember you With those eyes of delta blue Good for you Turn your back on Tennessee You knew what you got to do Heaven knows If it's wrong or if it's right She'll be leaving at first light Here I stay If I wasn't so afraid I would chase her down tonight.
