Well, I woke up this mornin' with

a terrible poundin' in my head

With an empty whiskey bottle lyin' beside me in my bed

Next to a letter from my baby

oh, and this here's what it read

She said I'm tired of your ways

boy, so I packed up and I left town

I did my best to love you

but time after time, you let me down

A-don't you come lookin' for me, boy

'cause once I'm gone, I can't be found

She can't be found

Oh, my sweetheart done left town

Well, I don't know what I'm gonna do now

'Cause my sweethеart can't be found

Well, I'm singin' sad love songs

down in somе dusty old saloon

Just a-thinkin' 'bout that woman

has got me howlin' at the moon

That girl is sweet as an angel

and hotter than the month of June

Now it's two in the mornin' and I'm all drunk and all alone

I tried to call that woman about

a dozen times now on the phone

Well, I hear her voice, but all she tells me is

"Leave a message at the tone"

She can't be found

Oh, my sweetheart done left town, yeah, mama

Well, I don't know what I'm gonna do now

'Cause my sweetheart can't be found, oh, play that guitar

She can't be found

Oh, my sweetheart done left town, yeah, uh-huh

Well, I don't know what I'm gonna do now

'Cause my sweetheart can't be found

Well, I don't know what I'm gonna do now

'Cause my sweetheart can't be found, oh no, no

She done run off on me now

I guess I'll just go get drunk
